Item Description
Beautiful dense Widmanstätten patterns on both sides of this impressive large slab from the well-known Gibeon meteorite fall in Namibia. Widmanstätten patterns are striking figures of long nickel-iron crystals, found in octahedrite iron meteorites and pallasites (Wikipedia). The Gibeon meteorite fall took place in prehistoric times over a large area (strewn field) of the Hardap Region of Namibia. It is an iron meteorite (iron-nickel alloy) classified as a fine octahedrite. 811 grams mass. As we post this, Ebay currently lists four Gibeon meteorite slabs for sale in this size range: 1) 497 grams for $2546 US; 2) 554 grams for $2699; 3) 707 grams for $3187: and 4) 1000 grams for $3800 - placing this in the $3000 range very fairly. A very fine and sculptural large Gibeon meteorite slab with fascinating dense patterns.
