It is scientifically proven that some spinel crystals formed millions of years ago, at high pressures and temperatures, during the impact of asteroids on Earth, such as the asteroid that was supposed to wipe out dinosaurs. The unusual durability of these crystals allowed them to “survive” intact in these asteroid impact spots until present days. This allows scientists to study spinel deposits and acc. to them identify asteroid impact spots that are already hidden. Thanks to explorating these places are scientists able to discover new insights into the evolution of the Earth and the solar system.
