SIKHOTE8

This nickel iron meteorite fell on Feb. 12, 1947 in the Sikhote-alin Mountains of Eastern Siberia, Russia. It is the largest observed meteorite fall in history, with over 23000 kg raining down on the earth in the form of iron shrapnel and the more rare individual fallen meteorites such as this one. A couple years ago, the Russian government has made it difficult to export, and diggers I knew said there was almost nothing left to find. 

This piece has two distinct sides. One side ihas small regmaglypts and the other has a smoother wavier texture. It has a pleasant, dynamic shape reminiscient of an artist's sculpture. It weighs 110 grams.
