Description from the seller
The Gibeon meteorite is one of the most valued and sought after by collectors worldwide.

It is a fine octahedron, of great beauty inside and out, commonly used for the creation of high-end jewelry.
The specimen from this batch is a rectangular slice, with a good weight-to-surface ratio, and displays Widmanstätten lines as well as some dark-toned inclusions, in this classic meteorite that should not be missing from any collection.
