Muonionalusta meteorite HQ Swedish Cube - Height: 2 cm - Width: 2 cm - 66 g

100% authentic Muonionalusta iron meteorite treated with nano anti-rust coating. Display stand not included! The Muonionalusta is an iconic, rare iron meteorite that struck northern Sweden about 1 million years ago. Discovered in 1906, it is famous for its age of more than 4.5 billion years and the stunning crystal structures (Widmanstätten pattern) that become visible when the iron is polished and etched. Important Features: Fine octahedrite (IVA) consisting of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Note: It is one of the few meteorites that contains the mineral stishovite (a rare form of quartz). The unique linework (Widmanstätten pattern) is the result of the extremely slow cooling of the core of a former planetesimal As an experienced meteorite collector I guarantee the authenticity of all meteorites I offer.
