Meteorites are stones that come from outer space, originating from particles of comets, the asteroid belt, and planets, and have survived their passage through Earth's atmosphere. Their composition and color vary widely. There are three main classes of meteorites: irons, chondrites, and achondrites. Iron meteorites are mainly composed of iron and nickel, while chondrites consist of stone. Achondrites are rare stony-irons that contain stone fragments and/or striking olivine crystals embedded in a nickel-iron matrix.
