Killer Gems From Outer Space [sic]

[cascaillou]

Most have already seen green peridot in pallasite iron meteorites: https://kdmeteorites.com/images/AdmireC ... ugget1.JPG

However, a recent Tucson show report on the mindat forum highlighted a very unique and interesting find. My initial thoughts were leaning toward blue diopside, but apparently this could be blue enstatite in an achondrite stony (not iron) meteorite: https://www.mindat.org/photo-1649913.html (the picture can be zoomed, that stuff is actually gemmy)

Wow! That's gorgeous!

Wasn't moissonite also found in a meteorite?

[Stephen Challener]

That would be "Killer Gems From Outer Space [SiC]"
It was but only in microscopic grains, not gemmy like these blue crystals.
