Eventually,
the radioactive processes within the core of these asteroids,
cooled down and substances such as
Olivine would crystallize.
A big enough collision between two asteroids would cause
fragments of the
Olivine rich core-mantle boundary to
fly through space; these fragments are the sources of
Pallasite meteorites. These meteorites have fallen out
of the heavens at regular intervals since the dawn of
time. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that
the ancient alchemic cultures of Egypt, believing 'As
it is above, so it is below,' considered these
bright
green Peridot crystals at the heart of these sky rocks
to be 'The
Gems
Of The Sun.'
