AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Gibeon meteorite is among the most valued and sought after by collectors worldwide.
It is a metallic meteorite that fell in what is now Namibia in 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 octahedrite, with great beauty both outside and inside, commonly used for making high-end jewelry.
The specimen from this lot is a slice, rectangular, with a good weight-to-surface ratio, in which we can see the Widmanstätten lines as well as some inclusions of dark tones, 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 of 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.
