This is a fine, pristine raw Altay iron meteorite. Eroded over countless years, it bears one-of-a-kind natural weathering textures. An excellent pick for private collection, display and educational specimen. As meteorite resources are increasingly depleted, and most meteorite fall areas are now under strict control, it is no longer possible to enter and collect freely as before. Every piece of meteorite available today is hard-earned, found only through the relentless, carpet-style searches of licensed meteorite hunters, making each specimen extremely precious. # Taxes and fees are for the buyer's account.
