AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In this batch we present a precious Aletai meteorite (China, 1898) of an ideal size for a good collection of specimens or for jewelry work, in perfect condition, in which we can see its exterior crystallization, giving it a very beautiful shape.

Metallic meteorites come from the cores of large asteroids, and were formed over 4,000 million years ago inside that asteroid, cooling their temperature by only a few degrees each million years, which caused iron and nickel to crystallize into octahedra, hence the name of “octahedrite.”

An excellent opportunity to add this universe wonder to your collection.

We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material. Buy with guarantees.
