Meteorites with Stishovite Inclusions
Stishovite
is a very rare mineral discovered by a Russian scientist, and can only
be created under high shock at hypervelocity. Examples would be
meteoroid impacts in space, or meteor impacts with the earth.
Stishovite was discovered at Meteor Crater, Arizona in the
terresterial rock around the impact site. It is also found in the
Muonionalusta Meteorite.
Stishovite is an
extremely hard, dense, polymorph of Silicone Dioxide(armour plated
quartz). It's hardness is around 9.4 on the Mohs scale. It varies in
color from clear to black.
Because of it's
high hardness, much difficulty was encountered while slicing the
meteorite. Most of these slices vary in thickness.
