Canyon Diablo, Arizona
Diamond crystal (carbonado). When we cut this piece, the much harder
diamond crystal actually moved the saw blade over and around it.
The carbonado was probably formed when carbon, in the form of of graphite
within the meteorite, was subjected to an intense shock, either in a collision
with another asteroid or with the surface of the Earth.
