This is a pallasite meteorite a rare slice of an ancient asteroid believed to have formed between its metallic core and rocky mantle over 4.5 billion years ago.
Those glowing crystal sections are olivine, meaning you’re looking at the shattered inner remains of a lost world from the dawn of our solar system.
Wonder what it tastes like
isn’t all material technically 4,500,000,000 years old?
I just took a shit that would beg to differ
The universe is estimated to be 13.8 billion years old.
But it was mostly Hydrogen and Helium for the majority of it. Although I’m defining material as atoms now, so that also a matter of point of view.
Older. We are all stardust from prior supernovae.
The question you’re really asking requires more robust definitions of “material” and “old” then you usually deal with.
Make a dagger out of it, come on. It’s meant to summon something through sacrifice, stop wasting it.
Olivine is used in refractory bricks, furnace casings, and foundry sand to make them more heat resistant. Not sure it would make a good knife.
what if I am trying to knife a fire demon
May your blade chip and shatter
What does it taste like?
Like the bottom of a grandma’s purse.
Certain things that haven’t seen light for millions of years. And also Werther’s.
ugh this tastes like grandma
Can’t stop looking at it
Beautiful colours never before seen on earth
Like slorange and negative umami
