Photo shows Multiple views of a single Specimen Pricing based on a single SpecimenIron Meteorite: Location: Primorskiy kray, Russia - Classification: Iron IIABIron Meteorite: Meteorite Individuals look just like you would think an iron meteorite should look which makes buying a Sikhote Alin individual are great first meteorite. The size of thumbprinting on meteorites us directly related to the size of the individual mass so these resemble the iron meteorites seen in museum only in miniature. They are coarsest octahedrites. Many small Sikhote Alin meteorites will show surfaces that have been ablated passing through the atmosphere. These surfaces will be melted and often have blow back and a ridge of metal that formed from the metal that melted and moved back onto the rest of the individualAn oriented meteorite is formed when it's passage through the atmosphere is in a stable orientation. It receives the characteristic ablation features from being melted mostly on one surface. Among these features are a rounded front surface or a cone shape and often radial lines of melting in the front surface, and a rolled over lip of melted material which has cooled around the circumference of the back side.
On very rare occasions large meteoroids will reach the ground with enough velocity and mass to form an impact crater. The best preserved impact crater today is Meteor Crater in Arizona. Associated with impact structures and craters is a type of rock called an impactite. This glassy rock, also called crater glass, is formed from the melting of native rocks during the impact of asteroids. A second glassy object associated with impact events but much less understood are tektites. A tektite is a natural glass object formed by the melting of native rocks during some asteroid impacts. Some tektites, the Australites, receive aerodynamic shapes as the still plastic but cooling glass falls back to the surface from very high altitude. Muong Nong tektite glass may be from a melt sheet formed near the impact site. Meteorites are among the rarest materials that exist on our planet-far less common than gold, diamonds, or even emeralds. So, the chances of discovering a new example are slim-even for those of us who make their living hunting for, and studying, meteorites. I do spend a significant amount of time each year assisting people who think they may have found the real thing, but the odds are against it. Out of the many hundreds of suspected space rocks sent to us for testing, far less than one percent turn out to be genuine visitors from outer space.We grade each gemstone for Color, Clarity, cut, and Carat weight. We try to define / analysis each gemstone and photo taken (all photo are of the gemstone itself not a general stone photo) to help you make a better decision. These photos are intended to provide you with an accurate visual representation of the gem.Photo's taken with a macro lens, which may make the gemstone look larger in some views..Combining of views also may make gemstone look different sizes.Click on the photo to enlarge photo for better detail.
