AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For sale: Kaalijärv meteorite endcut — 49.33 g

Rare opportunity: a fresh endcut from the historic Kaalijärv iron meteorite, offered at 49.33 grams.

• Officially recognized meteorite from Estonia, classified as Iron, IAB-MG in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database. 

• Linked to the famed Kaali crater impact, dated to roughly 3,237 ± 10 years before present, one of the few known impacts in a populated area. 
• Beautiful coarse pattern, trimmed endcut ideal for display, education, or a serious collection. Polished, etched, stabilized and dried thoroughly.

Why this piece is special
• Size is substantial for an endcut—large enough for a standout tabletop with provided display box, yet still collectible at under 50 g.

• Hard‑to‑find material from a well‑documented crater event. Pieces from such famous sites rarely surface, and clean, display‑ready endcuts even less so.

• Strong fit for collectors who want both rarity and scientific story in one piece.
