Muonionalusta meteorite HQ Swedish Cube 117 grams...

100% authentic Muonionalusta iron meteorite treated with nano anti-rust coating. 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 beautiful crystal structures (Widmanstätten pattern) that become visible when the iron is polished and etched. Key features: Fine octahedrite (IVA) consisting of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Notable feature: It is one of the few meteorites that contains the mineral stishovite (a rare form of quartz). The unique lattice pattern (Widmanstätten pattern) is the result of the extremely slow cooling of the core of a former planetoid. As an experienced meteorite collector, I guarantee the authenticity of all meteorites I offer.
