Meteorite with Rare Agate
A rare type of garnet (andalusite) has been discovered inside a meteorite fragment believed to be from Mars, representing the first physical evidence of this mineral within the Red Planet's crust. This discovery marks a significant milestone in understanding Mars's geological history, as it suggests that garnet—normally formed under different natural conditions on Earth—formed inside the Martian crust without tectonic processes. The find helps open new horizons regarding the composition of rocks and the geological environment of extraterrestrial planets.
