Sikhote-Alin Iron Meteorite – Individual with Regmaglypts and Flow Lines - 1947 Fall, Russia
Description:
Offered is a high-quality individual specimen of the famous Sikhote-Alin iron meteorite, which fell on February 12, 1947, in the Primorye region of Siberia, Russia. This fall was one of the largest and most spectacular in recorded history.
This specific specimen is an "individual" (as opposed to a shrapnel piece), meaning it survived the atmospheric entry with its original shape largely intact. It features:
Distinct Regmaglypts: Deep thumbprint-like indentations caused by atmospheric ablation.
Fusion Crust & Patina: A beautiful dark, natural patina typical for this locality.
Flow Lines: Visible evidence of the molten metal flowing across the surface during its high-speed descent.
Solid Iron-Nickel Composition: Classified as a Coarsest Octahedrite (IIAB).
Sikhote-Alin specimens are a "must-have" for any serious meteorite collection due to their aesthetic shapes and historical significance.
Details:
Type: Iron Meteorite (IIAB)
Origin: Sikhote-Alin Mountains, Russia
Fall Date: February 12, 1947
Condition: Pristine, natural as found.
