AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A million years ago, a metallic and large-sized planetoid collided with the north of Scandinavia, in present-day Sweden. This meteorite is known by the name Muonionalusta, and to this day it is the oldest meteorite on Earth for which there is a record. It was first discovered in 1906, and since then a few specimens have been recovered, usually of small size.

The specimen of this lot is a magnificent, high-quality cut, large in size and in excellent condition, in which one can observe the spectacular Widmanstätten patterns in the cut areas, as well as its exterior of great beauty.

Quality and size for a great collection or museum. Especially suitable for big collectors or to keep cutting. Muonionalusta meteorites are increasingly scarce. Do not miss this opportunity!

All of our meteorites come with a certificate from IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association), which guarantees the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with guarantees.

Best regards and our best wishes.
