Most meteoroids will burn up and disintegrate whilst entering the earth's atmosphere and will never become a meteorite that impacts the earth. Those that do make it to the earth's surface may be grouped into two broad categories, primitive and differentiated. Primitive - These meteorites are called chondrites, and are Chondrite meteorite (Primitive stony meteorite) with the most abundant type.

Differentiated - Meteorites that have experienced sufficient heat to cause melting and the separation of the elements.

Stony irons are differentiated meteorites that are made up of almost equal parts rock and metallic iron. These stony iron meteorites can be split into two groups Pallasites and Mesosiderites. Then you get your iron meteorites that are made up of mostly iron and nickel and would be from the core of the planetary body. Tektites were once thought to come from space although most scientists now agree that they are not meteorites but rather a natural glass that was formed by the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the earth. e.g. - Moldavite. The vast majority of meteorites have an irregular shape and Fusion crust on a chondrite meteorite.

As the meteorite passes through the earth's atmosphere its surface begins to melt and the air pressure forces the molten material back, leaving a featureless molten surface called a fusion crust. Almost all meteorites are magnetic to some degree, even stony meteorites usually have enough iron and nickel in them to be magnetic. The nickel - iron meteorites may be cut into plates, beads or inlays that can be etched using acid to reveal a pattern (Widmanstatten patterns) of long nickel - iron crystals. These etched meteorites are being used in jewellery by clients who are intrigued by their extra terrestrial origin.
