Unit price perOut of stock
Here we have a Toluca meteorite etched slice. This incredible specimen weighs 65.3 grams and measures 69x47x5 mm. Found in 1776, this meteorite has a TKW of 3 tons.
The Toluca meteorite is classified as an Iron IAB-sLL and was discovered in Xiquipilco, Mexico state, Mexico. The classification Iron, IAB-sLL means "An iron meteorite belonging to the low-Au, low-Ni subgroup (sLL) of the IAB complex". The IAB iron meteorites have complicated textures and chemical-mineralogical features that indicate a complex history for the parent body. These meteorites commonly contain abundant silicate inclusions embedded in the metal phase.
This specimen was etched to show its unique widmanstatten pattern.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Will come with a Canagem® specimen card.
