DRONINO METEORITE WITH CUT AND POLISHED FACE, Iron, ataxite (ungrouped) Ryazan district, Russia

Idiosyncratic to Dronino meteorites is what is among the most unusual stippled textures of a meteorite known to exist. A platinum-hued surface wraps much of this attenuated meteorite’s perimeter. The top edge is trimmed and in the cut and polished face of this meteorite’s matrix, Dronino’s signature sulfide beads are evident. Accompanied by a custom armature, this is a decorative example of a most atypical meteorite. Modern cutting.
