Description from the seller

Etched disc of the Muonionalusta meteorite - 59.2 g with certificate and plastic stand

- highest quality of workmanship

- stabilized by electrolysis to prevent internal rusting

- Perfectly processed, meaning: precisely cut, ground, and polished to achieve the best possible result in etching.

From the depths of the universe, into your hands!

Muonionalusta is considered, with an age of about 4.6 billion years, to be one of the oldest known iron meteorites on our planet and is thus a witness to the beginnings of our planetary system.
