Muonionalusta meteorite slices

Muonionalusta meteorite slices

Lovely cut Muonionalusta meteorite slices, available in a few sizes. The Muonionalusta fall is spread across an area of Pajala Municipality, Sweden.

These pieces are a good example of an Iron Nickel meteorite slice; with a good, strong Widmanstätten pattern. The Muonionalusta meteorite is the oldest currently known of, over 4.5 billion years old.

As these are, of course, natural pieces of metal, the patterning, colours, and amount of inclusions on each slice will differ.

I personally think these pieces could quite easily be rounded off and made into cabochons, if any jewellers out there fancy a challenge...
