Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:4363867 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
Featured Refinements: chondrite |
Approximate dimensions: 1350gm x 26cm x 14cm x 0.5-0.8cm. Got got this from R. Meyer around 1992. Was in our museum for many years. I believe he said M. Cilz cut this. I refinished and... etched the one side about 10 years ago and it's been stable. Nice troilite inclusion.
I know a lot of new collectors have not heard of us but we've been working with meteorites for over 25 years, check out our videos iffen you don't believe me:
Short youtube video on our Brenham, Kansas efforts!
How to metal detect a meteorite: How to metal detect a meteorite
and we have more videos on the youtube.
Sold only as an item for display (why? because over the years people have asked if meteorites could be used for some really weird stuff, you wouldn't believe it or ever think of some of these things, gotta love it).
Always practice good hygiene and wash hands after handling. Thank you, Donald I. Stimpson Ph.D.
