In the Hadean Eon, long before the modern day, Earth was a roiling ball of hot magma incapable of sustaining life. It is difficult to study this ancient time, as few rocks from it have survived. However, some traces of the prehistoric magma ocean can be found in the Isua Greenstone Belt, an Archaean deposit over 3.6 billion years old.
This specimen is a piece of rock from the Isua Greenstone Belt in Greenland. Within this formation are some of the earliest traces of Earth, from the time our planet was covered in fire. First appearing in the Fifth Edition, we're excited to debut the Magma Ocean as a solo specimen!
