Information: Metallic meteorites are authentic witnesses of the core of ancient planetesimals destroyed by collisions in deep space. Formed almost entirely of an iron-nickel alloy, these fragments connect us to the most intense processes of the early Solar System. Unlike stony meteorites, metallic meteorites come from the interiors of differentiated celestial bodies, where the metal sank to the center, forming a core, just as in planets. Their internal structure, sometimes revealed by cutting and polishing, can show fascinating Widmanstätten figures , a crystalline pattern that only forms after millions of years of slow cooling in the vacuum of space.
This specimen is more than just a space rock: it is a solid piece of cosmic history, a relic forged in the incandescent heart of a world that no longer exists.
This piece will travel insured in a safety package to arrive in perfect condition.
