Meteorites represent extraterrestrial material that has traversed interplanetary space and successfully penetrated Earth's atmosphere. These specimens originate from diverse cosmic sources, including cometary debris, asteroidal fragments, and planetary ejecta. The mineralogical and chromatic characteristics of meteorites exhibit considerable variation depending on their parent body and formation history. Classification into three primary categories reflects fundamental compositional differences: iron meteorites, dominated by iron-nickel alloys; chondrites, characterized by silicate-rich mineralogy and chondrule textures; and achondrites, a rare category of differentiated meteorites featuring olivine-rich phases within iron-nickel matrices. Understanding these distinctions is essential for proper specimen identification and scientific interpretation of meteoritic material.
