$47.00 CAD
Unit price per1 low in stock
This is a great looking 6.74 gram Meteor Crater Oxide (Canyon Diablo) individual specimen directly from The Meteor Crater Museum, Arizona, U.S.A.. Its dimensions are 26x17x11 mm.
This 6.74 gram Meteorite Oxide originates from the renowned Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. Its natural oxidation process offers a unique, rugged texture and appearance, providing an authentic sample of extraterrestrial iron altered by Earth’s atmosphere over time. Ideal for collectors and researchers, this specimen exemplifies the scientific and geological significance of meteorite weathering. This piece was obtained directly from the Meteor Crater museum. It is highly magnetic and very heavy for its size and this specimen comes with a magnet.
-
Formation:As meteorites fall through the atmosphere and land on Earth, the iron and other metallic components can oxidize, forming rust-like coatings.
-
Impact on Appearance:The fusion crust of a meteorite can weather over time, transforming from a black, shiny surface to a rusty brown color due to oxidation.
-
Not all Meteorites Oxidize:While most meteorites have some degree of oxidation, the extent can vary based on factors like the meteorite's composition, the duration of exposure to the atmosphere, and the local environment.
This unique specimen will come with a Meteor Crater and a Canagem specimen card. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection or start one today.
