Fukang Meteorite (4.5 billion years old), the most expensive and most beautiful meteorite in the world.

In 2000, a Chinese merchant found it in the Gobi Desert, near Fukang, Xinjiang Province, China.

Fukang meteorite consists of nickel and iron, and what makes it rare is that it contains a type of rare gemstone, which is honey-colored crystal olivine, a gemstone similar to emerald, but it is rare. It was sold at Sotheby’s for 90,000 dollars.
