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, which fell in present-day Namibia in prehistoric times, and was used for the manufacture of weapons and tools by the inhabitants of that era, although it was first discovered by Western mankind in 1836.
It is a fine octahedrite, with great beauty both on the exterior and interior, and is often employed for the crafting of high-end jewelry.
The specimen in this lot is a slice, rectangular, with a good weight-to-area ratio, and in it we can see the Widmanstätten lines as well as some dark-toned inclusions, in this classic meteorite that should not be missing from any collection.
A fantastic specimen to add to your collection. Do not miss this opportunity!
All of our meteorites come with an IMCA certificate (International Meteorite Collectors Association), guaranteeing the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with confidence.
Best regards and our very best wishes.
