Gibeon Meteorite Cube Iron, IVA Great Nama Land,...
Gibeon Meteorite Cube Iron, IVA Great Nama Land, Namibia - (25° 30'S, 18° 0'E) Found: 1836 This sizable three-dimensional meteorite cube of Gibeon material features six equal square faces with vibrant Widmanstätten patterning. The metallic block is solid and robust, weighing nearly 900 grams. As Gibeon is a popular Iron octahedrite, the appearance of the Widmanstätten pattern via etching is to be expected, especially with a "worked" piece of the space rock. The simplicity of this offering really makes it so very intriguing and also represents a lot of space history in a stylish manner. Overall Measurements: 1.89 x 1.89 x 1.89 inches (4.80 x 4.80 x 4.80 cm), weighs 875 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
