Description: I am offering a unique fragment of the Sichote-Alin meteorite, weighing 3-4 grams, securely housed in a clear plastic display box. This meteorite originates from one of the most famous and significant meteor events of the 20th century, when on February 12, 1947, a massive iron meteorite fell in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in Russia's Far East. The event was so powerful that it was observed as a fiery bolide, resulting in the scattering of thousands of smaller fragments across the area. This particular piece is unique in its size, shape, and texture, which is typical of meteorite iron. The surface of the fragment displays characteristic melted lines and small craters, formed during its passage through the atmosphere. Samples of the Sichote-Alin meteorite are highly prized by collectors for their historical significance, scientific value, and unique beauty. Meteorites like this offer a fascinating glimpse into the cosmos and the mysteries it holds. They are a testament to the forces that shaped our solar system and provide valuable insights into the composition and evolution of planets. This fragment is an ideal addition to the collection of any astronomy, geology, or history enthusiast. The plastic display box provides practical and secure storage, allowing for easy display or transportation without risk of damaging the specimen. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of the universe in your collection! Price is per one box, photographs are for illustration purposes only and you will receive similar box with meteorite.
