Description
English: The meteorite of Vaca Muerta fell in a zone of coastal influence of the Atacama Desert where the humidity goes in land in the form of dense fog. This allowed the growth of wonderful crystalline formations of apple green color or greenish white vitrous luster. Morenosite crystals, a heptahydrated nickel sulfate, are the result of a mixture of terrestrial sulfates with extraterrestrial nickel during thousands of years of adequate humidity conditions. Museo del Meteorito, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.
Français : Météorite de Vaca Muerta. Museo del Meteorito, San Pedro de Atacama (Chili). Les formations vert-pomme ou verdâtres sont des cristaux de morénosite NiSO4 · 7 H2O, dus à des milliers d'années d'interaction avec le brouillard du désert d'Atacama (le nickel est d'origine extraterrestre mais les ions sulfate d'origine terrestre).
