Excellent slice of fine octahedrite from the Muonialusta meteorite. It was located by me, near the 68° north parallel, at a depth of about 95 cm, during the expedition we carried out in the summer of 2023. The specimen has been thoroughly cleaned and, after a meticulous anti-corrosion treatment, this fine slice has been cut with diamond wire, preserving its original contour. Both surfaces have been polished to better appreciate the various nuances of its wonderful Widmanstätten pattern. It is shipped in a transparent and flexible display box, with certificate of authenticity IMCA 5955.

Excelente rebanada de Octaedrita Fina de Meteorito Muonionalusta. Fue localizada por mí, cerca del paralelo 68° norte, a unos 95cm de profundidad, durante la expedición que realizamos el verano de 2.023. El especimen lo hemos limpiado a conciencia y  tras un minucioso tratamiento anti corrosión, se ha cortado esta rebanada fina con hilo de diamante, conservando su contorno original. Ambas superficies las hemos pulido para apreciar mejor distintos matices de su maravilloso patrón de Widmanstatten. Se envía en caja de exposición transparente y flexible, con tarjeta certificado de autenticidad IMCA 5955.
