Dynamite

Dynamite is the strongest of all Explosive Consumables, destroying a great area when thrown. Dynamite can destroy almost any known block, exceptions being Dungeon Bricks and Hellstone.

Dynamite may be found in chests or bought from the Demolitionist.

Mining meteorites
Dynamite works exceptionally well for mining meteorites. 1-3 dynamite strategically placed will mine 80-90%, if not all, of the meteorite and instantly stop more Meteor heads from spawning allowing you to safely mine the remaining ore with your pickaxe.
