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.
