Gibeon Iron Meteorite (Namibia, 1836) Slice -Widmanstätten Pattern- - 33.4 g

The Gibeon meteorite is among the most valued and sought-after by collectors worldwide. It is a metallic meteorite that fell in present-day Namibia in prehistoric times, and was used for the manufacture of weapons and tools by the inhabitants of that era, although it was first discovered by Westerners in 1836.

It is a fine octahedrite, with great external and internal beauty, and is commonly used for making high-end jewelry.

The specimen from this lot is a slice, rectangular, with a good weight-to-surface area ratio, in which we can see the Widmanstätten Lines as well as some inclusions in dark tones, in this classic meteorite that should not be missing from any collection.

A fantastic specimen to add to your collection. Do not 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. Shop with guarantees.
