The meteorolite gives out green light.

A piece of meteorolite worth more than 100 million yuan ($15.7 million) is in the ownership of a resident in Huize county, Southwest China's Yunnan province, Chuncheng Evening News reported on Tuesday.

The meteorolite looks just like ordinary stones, except it is luminous in the dark.

According to its owner Peng, if exposed to the light of an electric torch for several seconds, the meteorolite can give out green light in the darkness, and if it absorbs sunshine for several minutes, it will be luminous for three days and nights.

The meteorolite was inherited from Peng's ancestors. Experts estimated that it could be worth more than 100 million yuan.

A British Chinese collector once offered 56 million yuan to buy the stone but was rejected.
