Ureilite is a rare type of stony meteorite that contains a high percentage of graphite and tiny (< 1 micron in size) diamonds called londaleite. This ultra hard diamond results from impact events such as when meteorites hit Earth. Because londaleite can be inexpensively synthesized, it may one day be used in biological and industrial applications. Source: https://www.msn.com.
