Description
Collectors say that minerals are the universe’s autobiography, written in atoms. A curated introduction to extraterrestrial geology: one Gibeon iron meteorite slice (4.5 billion years old, Widmanstätten pattern), one chondrite individual, one Australite button tektite, one Moldavite fragment, and one pallasite olivine-bearing slice. Five objects from beyond Earth, with origin cards for each. The solar system, summarized in a small box.
This specimen originates from Global, one of the world’s most significant localities for this type of material. Collectors and scientists have drawn from this region for generations, and for good reason: the combination of geological conditions here produces specimens of exceptional quality and clarity.
Every specimen is unique. Photographs approximate the visual experience, but the real thing — its weight, its luster under a raking light, the way it catches the corner of your eye — can only be experienced directly.
