SIKHOTE-ALIN

$1,850.00

Own a tangible piece of cosmic history with this authentic Sikhote-Alin iron meteorite, weighing an impressive 660 grams. This extraordinary specimen originated from the famous Sikhote-Alin meteorite fall, one of the largest meteorite showers ever witnessed, which occurred in eastern Russia on February 12, 1947.

Formed over 4.5 billion years ago during the early formation of our solar system, this meteorite traveled through space before surviving its fiery descent through Earth’s atmosphere. Its rugged, sculptural surface showcases natural regmaglypts—thumbprint-like indentations created during atmospheric entry—giving each piece a distinct, almost otherworldly appearance.

This 660g specimen offers a substantial presence, making it ideal for collectors, display, or as a unique conversation piece. Composed primarily of iron and nickel, Sikhote-Alin meteorites are prized for both their durability and their deep connection to planetary science and cosmic origins.

Key Features:

* Authentic Sikhote-Alin iron meteorite
* Weight: 660 grams

* Estimated age: ~4.5 billion years
* Sourced from the historic 1947 fall in Russia
