Material is—Meteorite – Muonionalusta Sweden Sold to Mark Knapp
Order code R-meteorite 311(use when inquiring so we be on the same sheet of music!)
Dimensions 4 ½ x 2 ½ wide x 1/8th thick
Weight 6.5 ounces
Stuff to know This is a nickel iron. Unique crystal structure can not be duplicated in earth. If I recall, one reason is due to cooling one degree per million years. This come from Sweden from a meteorite found in 1906, that fell on earth about 100,000 years ago. This is called Octahedrite , fine (0.3)shock hatched kamacite structure. I do not have a clue what that means but maybe you do. I acquired this in a trade at the Tucson fossil show and know there are knife makers who want meteorite for blades. I just know it looks cool and a bade made of this would look out of this world.
