The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupts the unusual crystals

An unusual natural phenomenon can be observed in Hawaii, where the volcano of Kilauea, it seems, is not going to stop.

Infinite lava flows which erupted volcano, turned to a green rainfall. Kilauea, which brought chaos and destruction, now surprises the islanders emissions in the form of a beautiful green mineral called olivine.

The crystals of large size were discovered among rocks and ash remaining after recent eruptions and lava flows. This is a rare occurrence, which is currently studied by the geologists. The rest can only watch from the sidelines for an unexpected surprise, made by nature.

Friends of mine live in Hawaii, right next to the area impacted by the most recent lava flows. In the midst of the destruction nearby & stress of the unknown, they woke up to this — tiny pieces of olivine all over the ground. It is literally raining gems. Nature is truly amazing. pic.twitter.com/inJWxOp66t

To understand what is behind this amazing event, you need to understand the origin of this phenomenon from the point of view of science. Olivine is a silicate of iron and magnesium and is a common mineral. It can be observed on the surface of volcanic hot spots. He often paints a dark igneous rocks, such as basalt, in the green shades of moss-green. But to turn a crystal of olivine in jewelry, you must use the whole piece. Gems such large pieces are rare in nature. Due to its ability to change under the influence of temperature, the crystals quickly transformed into fine grains of sand.

The phenomenon which can be observed in Hawaii, there is only one explanation: evaporating under high temperatures, magnesium silicates of iron quickly turned into olivine stones before fell to the earth as precipitation.

Previously, the volcano threw a column of ash height of over 3000 meters.
