AESTHEIC GIBEON METEORITE WITH TWO SCOOPS — NATURAL SCULPTURE FROM OUTER SPACE, Iron, fine octahedrite Gibeon, Great Nama Land, Namibia

With a profusion of scoops, ridges and crests, the character of this meteorite was enhanced by the natural sculpting that occurred during its residency on Earth. A flange extends at the upper right. The smooth flat surface at the lower right indicates where this meteorite had split apart along one of its crystalline planes. The reverse exhibits a different character with shallow thumbprint accents throughout. A superior, intriguing example.
