A truly stunning translucent slice of the historic Steinbach meteorite. This iron meteorite slice is more beautiful and translucent than most pallasites, and it is far more rare. This amazing slice of the anomalous IVA silicated iron contains extensive green and dark honey colored translucent pyroxene crystals. The metal in this crystal laden iron meteorite slice shows a beautiful fine octahedral Widmanstatten pattern. These unique Widmanstätten patterns are only found in meteorites and the planetary and asteroidal cores where they are formed.
Many of the legacy specimens of the Steinbach meteorite are heavily oxidized and in poor condition. This slice of Steinbach is among the most beautiful and well preserved specimens we have ever seen. It has been stabilized " electrolytic reduction" to remove chlorine and other salts which act as a catalyst for oxidation. This restoration and stabilization process helps to preserve this historic meteorite's pristine nature.
What you get: Steinbach IVA-an Iron meteorite slice as shown & signed Certificate of Authenticity.
We offer a 100% no questions asked 30 day return policy.
