This exceptional piece presents a striking contrast in finish; the exterior surface has been sandblasted to a clean, matte texture that highlights the natural ruggedness of the meteorite's crust, while the main face has been precision etched and polished to reveal the full glory of its internal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe etched surface unveils a magnificent Widmanstätten pattern in extraordinary detail and scale; the interlocking nickel-iron crystalline bands stretching across a surface area rarely seen in pieces of this size. Formed over billions of years of slow cooling deep within the core of a long-shattered asteroid, this pattern is entirely unique to fine octahedrite meteorites like Muonionalusta and cannot be replicated by any artificial process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt nearly 1.9 kilograms, this is a serious centerpiece specimen, suited for display, scientific study, or the collection of anyone seeking a substantial and visually commanding piece of deep space history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes:\u003cbr\u003e- Certificate of authenticity\u003cbr\u003e- Informational booklet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace of Discovery: Norrbotten, Sweden\u003cbr\u003eYear of Discovery: 1906\u003cbr\u003eType: Iron — Fine Octahedrite\u003cbr\u003eComposition: Iron and Nickel\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Sandblasted exterior, etched and polished face\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1854 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meteorite Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54388060160342,"sku":null,"price":5562.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/0143\/7270\/files\/IMG_9417_ec898a65-0a73-463f-b2f0-c8a03e950bc8.jpg?v=1782836175","url":"https:\/\/www.meteoritejewelry.shop\/products\/muonionalusta-meteorite-sweden-1854-grams","provider":"Meteorite Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
