Earth was a ball of molten lava when it first formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Scientists originally believed that Earth’s first eon–the Hadean–ended when the first rocks formed.

It’s the only rock determined to be from the first of four geological eons in our planet’s history: the Hadean, which began 4.6 billion years ago when the world was hot, turbulent and hell-like.
