AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Gibeon meteorite is one of the most valued and sought after by collectors worldwide. It is a metallic meteorite that fell in present-day Namibia during prehistoric times and was used to make weapons and tools by the inhabitants of that era, although it was first discovered by Western humans in 1836.

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.

A fantastic specimen to add to your collection. Don't miss this opportunity!

All our meteorites come with an IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association) certificate, ensuring the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with confidence.

Best regards and our best wishes.
