AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

One million years ago, a large metallic- composition planetoid impacted 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 of which there is record. It was first discovered in 1906, and since then a number of specimens have been recovered, usually small in size.

The specimen of this lot is a high-quality, large-sized slice in excellent condition, in which the spectacular Widmanstätten lines can be observed, some of them wrinkled by the impact, something very rare to see and valued by collectors.

Quality and size for a great collection. Cut very thin to have a large surface area relative to weight. A fantastic specimen. Do not miss this opportunity!

All of our meteorites come with a certificate from IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association), GMA, and The Meteoritical Society, associations of which we are members, being the most important worldwide, and therefore we guarantee the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with confidence.

Best regards and our best wishes.
