Product Description

A rare piece of cosmic history, this Genuine Muonionalusta Meteorite Slice was sourced from the Muonionalusta Meteorite, a fine octahedrite which impacted in northern Scandinavia— just west of the border between Sweden and Finland— during the Quaternary Period, about one million years ago. Originally discovered in 1906, this meteorite was first described in 1910 by Professor A. G. Högbom, who named it "Muonionalusta", after a nearby place on the Muonio River. Studies have shown it to be the oldest discovered meteorite impacting the Earth, and that it was likely part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid, which shattered into many pieces upon its fall to Earth.
