IRON METEORITE NAMIBIA
IRON METEORITE NAMIBIA
The real deal Star Dust or Space Rock, Iron Meteorite Namibia. This specimen originally came from outer space and landed in Namibia. The Gibeon meteorite shower is the 6th largest in total mass known at present. The criss cross pattern shown on the cut face is referred to as Widmanstatten Pattern and is one way of knowing that you have a real Meteorite.
Natural iron is not necessarily “native” to Earth since it rarely occurs on the Earth’s surface by terrestrial processes. It is mostly found in the form of meteorites that have impacted the Earth’s surface. A few rare terrestrial gabbros and sulfide deposits do contain elemental iron-nickel deposits, these are the only truly native iron-nickel. All natural iron, whether it is native or meteoritic, is actually an alloy of iron and nickel. The two elements are combined in varying percentages from less than 6% nickel to as much as 75% nickel, although iron is by far more common than nickel.
