AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Etched disc of the Muonionalusta meteorite - 84.84 g with certificate and plastic stand

- highest quality workmanship

- stabilized by electrolysis to prevent internal rusting

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

- thinly sliced to maximize surface area with little weight to showcase the wonderfully unique pattern

From the vastness of the universe, into your hands!

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

The Muonionalusta meteorite is classified as a fine octahedrite of type IVA and, in northern Scandinavia west of the border between Sweden and Finland, appeared about one million years BCE.
