MUONIONALUSTA METEORITE, SWEDEN. 1854 GRAMS

A beautiful 1854 g end-cut of the Muonionalusta meteorite, one of the oldest meteorites ever found on Earth. Discovered in 1906 in Norrbotten, Sweden, this large specimen is an outstanding display piece with excellent natural character. The exterior has been sandblasted to preserve its rugged appearance, while the cut face has been polished and etched to reveal the famous Widmanstätten pattern. These intricate nickel-iron crystals formed as the parent asteroid cooled incredibly slowly over billions of years, creating a structure that cannot be reproduced artificially. An excellent choice for collectors looking for a centerpiece specimen or anyone wanting to own a genuine piece of our Solar System's history.
