AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Gibeon meteorite is one of the most valued and sought-after by collectors around the world. It is a metallic meteorite, which fell in present-day Namibia in prehistoric times, and used for making weapons and utensils by the inhabitants of that era, although it was first found by Western humans in 1836.
It is a fine octahedrite, with great exterior and interior beauty, and is often used for crafting high-end jewelry.
The specimen in this lot is a slice, rectangular, in which on one side there is fusion crust with a good weight-to-area ratio, and where we can see the 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 certificate (International Meteorite Collectors Association) which guarantees the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with confidence.
Best regards and our best wishes.
