(iron, unclassified)

Iron, unclassified
Bordj Omar Driss, In Amenas, Illizi Province, Algeria
Find: October 2020
TKW: 5,500 g (one mass)
Individual 5,500 g

Textbook, shield-shaped 5.5 kg iron meteorite from the Central Sahara desert. The highly oriented meteorite features a convex breast side and distinct regmaglypts, flow-lines and melt-rims on the trailing surface. While original, gun-blue fusion crust is preserved on some parts of the trailing side, the remainder shows a chestnut-brown, desert-varnished abrasion patina that is characteristic for surface finds in the sand-rich erg environments of the central Sahara. The latter being a feature to which local dealers often refer to as “golden iron.” This is a true museum grade specimen of a highly oriented, extremely well preserved iron meteorite. Comes with the pictured display stand.

Huoyanshan

Iron, IAB-sLH, finest Octahedrite

IAB-sLH, finest octahedrite
Xinjiang, China
Find: 2016, Oct. 6
TKW: 700 kg
Endcut 94.35 g

“The find site is 15 km NE of the Mountain Huoyanshan, which was noted in the famous 16th century novel, “A Journey to the West,” as having emerged from pieces of charcoal on fire falling from Heaven” (meteoritical Bulletin no. 106).

This is a 94.35 g endcut with beautiful etch and one natural surface. With a band width of only <0.035 mm, Huoyanshan hides its beauty in the submillimeter range. Viewed with a loupe or stereo microscope, the iron reveals a unique, cryptographic pattern, perpetuating in bizarre cuneiform. Huoyanshan is hard to acquire, difficult to etch, and even more challenging to photograph, yet truly one of the most rewarding meteoritic irons to study.

Imilac

Pallasite, main group
Antofagasta, Chile
Find: 1822
TKW: 920 kg (many masses)
Individual with olivines, 906 g
906 g individual of the Imilac meteorite. This specimen was recovered in 2019 in the central part of the strewnfield. The find location is in immediate proximity to the impact pit that contained a 19 kg individual and that was found by Garcia and Barrera in 1986 (as reported by H. Pedersen in 2012) and is believed to be a fragment from that mass, separated late in the flight. The heavily sculpted pallasite is spectacular in every regard, containing a high ammount of yellow olivine crytals and showing distinct regmaglypts with remnants of fusion rind. True museum-quality specimen.
