This piece shows a striking example of a very interesting discovery. Nearly half of the kamacit found in the meteorite has transformed into iron oxide. We can see the veins of iron oxide very clearly in it. All the photos were taken of the meteorite for sale. The microscopic images were taken from the polished surface and from the surface as well. Photographed from several angles and under different lighting conditions, I tried to showcase the beautiful magmatic structure.
