AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Aletai meteorite, China
Size - 57 x 28 x 30 mm
Weight - 101,2g
The Aletai meteorite is a massive, rare Group IIIE iron meteorite found in China's Xinjiang region, known for its vast strewn field (hundreds of kilometers) and exceptional gold/iridium content, named after its discovery location near Aletai County, with its many fragments previously given different names like Armanty, later unified due to chemical analysis confirming they came from the same event, holding significant scientific value for studying early solar system elements and potentially life's origins due to minerals like schreibersite.
The Aletai meteorite from China, like many meteorites, holds spiritual significance as a tangible piece of the cosmos, symbolizing universal vastness, divine messages, and connection to higher realms, often used for grounding and balancing energies, enhancing intuition, and facilitating spiritual awakening, especially due to its unique Widmanstätten patterns that signify deep cosmic origins.
