AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale is a beautiful, prepared slice of the historic iron meteorite Gibeon weighing 27.2 g.
The Gibeon meteorite ranks among the most sought-after and stablest iron meteorites in the world. It formed over more than 4.5 billion years ago in the molten core of a protoplanet. The impressive Widmanstätten pattern is created by the extremely slow cooling of nickel-iron in space over millions of years—a structure that cannot be synthetically produced in the laboratory.
As the export of Gibeon meteorites was already protected by the Namibian government in 2004, available pieces come exclusively from old collections, which makes Gibeon a true classic with high value retention.
An authenticity certificate is available / will be supplied.
