Description
The universe has 13.8 billion years of history. Some of it fits in your hand. Four meteorite types in one collection: one iron with Widmanstätten pattern (etched slice), one chondrite with visible chondrules, one tektite (Moldavite or Australite), and one pallasite with olivine. A representative cross-section of extraterrestrial material, from the oldest solid matter in the solar system to glass formed by impact events on Earth. Includes classification cards.
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.
