Volcanic Bomb with Olivine

The Science:

Volcanic bombs are blobs of molten lava ejected into the air during an eruption, sculpted mid-flight into aerodynamic shapes before hardening on the ground. This specimen from Girona, Spain, reveals inside an olivine-rich nodule, likely from the earth's mantle. The surrounding basalt froze around it as the bomb cooled, preserving a natural time capsule from a 100,000-year-old eruption.

The Story:

Once spun through the air by a violent eruption in Spain, this volcanic bomb now reveals the shimmering green olivine crystals hidden at its core. A relic of fire and flight, it captures both the drama of eruption and the beauty forged deep within Earth.
