Description from the seller

Etched slice of the Muonionalusta meteorite - 192.3 g with certificate and plastic stand

- highest quality of workmanship
- stabilized by electrolysis to prevent internal rust
- perfectly processed, meaning: cut exactly, ground and polished to achieve the best possible result in etching

- thinly sliced to provide a lot of surface area for little weight to showcase the wonderful unique pattern

From the vastness of the universe, into your hands!

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

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