Through the years I have studied a large number of small spherical particles, called spherules, of both terrestrial and extraterrestrial origins. Out of the many thousands of spherules that were easily classifiable, there have been a handful of cases where the origin remains uncertain. These enigmatic spherules are my favorite because they challenge existing knowledge […]

Many years ago when Jon Larsen began his search for stardust in an urban environment, many believed that the task was simply impossible. There were too many terrestrial lookalikes and, after all, many wonderful scientists had tried and failed for decades.
In 2015, Norwegian jazz guitarist, Jon Larsen, discovered the world's first urban micrometeorite. Since then, his legendary friendship with minerologist, Jan Braly Kihle, has produced the world's most spectacular high resolution images of micrometeorites — in breathtaking color.

WINTER 2022 COLLECTION
Meet this season's micrometeorites
This season's collection features a variety of stunning micrometeorites. From mountainous cryptocrystalline turtlebacks and bewitching glass spherules to ultra rare giants. Available for a limited time only.
NMM 1448: V-TYPE
NMM 1448: V-TYPE
Glass / Vitreous
Glass or vitreous type (V-type) micrometeorites each a temperature of up to 2000°C (3600°F) as they scream through the atmosphere..
These delicate, translucent spherules are difficult to find due to their lack of magnetism, since most of their metals evaporated during descent.
NMM 1359: CC-TYPE
Crypto-crystalline
Cryptocrystalline (CC-type) micrometeorites are composed of glassy particles with fine-grained crystallites that are too small to recognize as individual grains.
Many of these magnificent spherules feature metal beads and aerodynamic forms, while others have a "turtleback" shape with humps distributed evenly around the spherule.
NMM 1359: CC-TYPE
NMM 1149: PO-TYPE
Porphyritic Olivine
Porphyritic olivine (PO-type) micrometeorites are also made of forsterite, a type of olivine that is made of magnesium.
There are many morphological varieties of this type of micrometeorite; From evenly distributed small crystals, to crystals that increase in side, to extremely large or even possibly a single olivine crystal.
NMM 1149: PO-TYPE
NMM 1271: Sc-TYPE
Scoriaceous
When stardust does not reach a peak temperature of at least 1350°C (2500°F) during entry and deceleration, it barely melts. Volatile elements expand and escape in the form of gas bubbles, which results in a scoriaceous (SC-type) or vesicular micrometeorite.
Micrometeorites of this type are extremely difficult to find.
NMM 1271: SC-TYPE
NMM 1271: G-, I-, CAT-typeS
Other Types
From G-types with dark silicate glass, I-types dominated by iron, and milky CAT spherules enriched with calcium, aluminum, and titanium, to fossil, unmelted, and un-categorized micrometeorites.
There is no question that Jon Larsen and Jan Braly Kihle's contributions have had a dramatic effect on the field.
NMM 1271: G-/I-/CAT-TYPES
