An iron meteorite from Australia, etched and polished on one display side, clearly showing the Widmanstätten patterns.
This lattice-like crystallization of kamacite and taenite lamellae only forms under the extremely slow cooling conditions within a differentiated asteroid, over millions of years.
The rough, dark outer edges show the original fusion crust, as the meteorite looked upon atmospheric entry. Only the polished cross-section reveals what the iron interior was in the asteroid's core.
Australia is home to several significant iron meteorite strewn fields, including Henbury and Mundrabilla. Pieces with such clearly defined Widmanstätten structures are a masterful feat of preparation.
The material is approximately 4.5 billion years old, older than the entire solar system in its current form.
A collector's item with verifiable certification. The dual presentation of rough fusion crust and fine Widmanstätten pattern makes it a textbook example for iron meteorite research.
