100% authentic Muonionalusta iron meteorite treated with nano anti-rust coating.

Display stand not included!

The Muonionalusta is an iconic, rare iron meteorite that struck northern Sweden about 1 million years ago. Discovered in 1906, it is famous for its age of more than 4.5 billion years and the stunning crystal structures (Widmanstätten pattern) that become visible when the iron is polished and etched.

Important Features: Fine octahedrite (IVA) consisting of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Note: It is one of the few meteorites that contains the mineral stishovite (a rare form of quartz).

The unique linework (Widmanstätten pattern) is the result of the extremely slow cooling of the core of a former planetesimal

As an experienced meteorite collector I guarantee the authenticity of all meteorites I offer.

Display standard not included!

De Muonionalusta is een iconische, zeldzame ijzermeteoriet die ongeveer 1 miljoen jaar geleden in Noord-Zweden insloeg. Ontdekt in 1906, is hij beroemd om zijn ouderdom van meer dan 4,5 miljard jaar en de prachtige kristalstructuren (Widmanstätten-patroon) die zichtbaar worden wanneer het ijzer gepolijst en geëtst wordt.

Belangrijke Kenmerken: Fijne octaëdriet (IVA) bestaande uit ijzer, nikkel en kobalt.Bijzonderheid: Het is een van de weinige meteorieten die het mineraal stishoviet (een zeldzame vorm van kwarts) bevat.

Het unieke lijnenspel (Widmanstätten-patroon) is het resultaat van het extreem langzaam afkoelen van de kern van een voormalige planetoïde

Als een ervaren Meterorieten verzamelaar garandeer ik de autenciciteit van alle meteorieten die ik aanbied.
