Own a fragment of one of the most spectacular meteorite falls ever witnessed with this Sikhote-Alin iron meteorite. This specimen comes from the famous daylight fireball that exploded over the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in Siberia at 10:38am on February 12, 1947, showering thousands of iron fragments across the snow-covered forest. Classified as an iron coarse octahedrite, Sikhote-Alin is prized for its rugged, sculptural shapes and its direct link to a well-documented cosmic event.
This individual specimen weighs 5 grams and measures 2cm x 2cm x 0.6cm, an ideal size for display whilst still showing the natural character of the iron. It is supplied in a protective membrane floating display case and includes a certificate of authenticity, making it a perfect gift for collectors, enthusiasts or anyone who wants a genuine rock from space, documented from the Sikhote-Alin fall.
Package includes: meteorite specimen, certificate of authenticity, collectors display case
