"COSMIC BUTTERFLY" MUONIONALUSTA, SWEDEN. FULL METEORITE IN TWO HALVES.
Muonionalusta Iron Meteorite Butterfly Slice – 3.2 kg | Exceptional Widmanstätten Pattern | Display Stand Included
This extraordinary Muonionalusta iron meteorite weighs 3.2 kg and has been expertly cut and opened in a stunning butterfly formation, revealing two matching halves connected by their natural history. The specimen displays an exceptionally sharp and well-defined Widmanstätten pattern across both faces, with outstanding contrast and clarity.
Unlike many large etched iron meteorites, this piece is remarkably stable, showing no cracks, no structural issues, and no active oxidation. Its preservation and aesthetic quality make it a true collector-grade specimen.
The butterfly presentation highlights the internal crystalline structure formed during millions of years of cooling inside the core of an ancient asteroid. The symmetry of the two halves creates a dramatic museum-quality display.
The meteorite comes complete with a custom metal display stand, allowing immediate exhibition in a collection, office, gallery, or institution.
