A meteorite that has just impacted and is cooling will appear dark or black on the outside due to the fusion crust formed while passing through the Earth's atmosphere. The interior may have a lighter color and visible grains or crystals depending on the type of meteorite. Meteors that fall on ice or snow might have a frosty appearance as they cool.
