It is possible to cut slices from this block for jewelry or cutlery, for example, to reveal the inner beauty of this block with its translucent peridots that formed in Space 4.5 billion years ago. The peridots are as if set naturally by a metal matrix. This metal matrix presents a geometrical pattern that can only be found in meteorites, it is the so-called Widmanstätten structure.
