About the Sikhote-Alin Meteorite:

The Sikhote-Alin Meteorite is one of the most famous iron meteorites in history, having fallen in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, located northeast of Vladivostok, Russia, on February 12th, 1947. This historic meteorite fall was one of the largest recorded iron meteorite showers of the 20th century, with pieces of the meteorite scattered over a large area, making it a highly sought-after specimen among meteorite collectors and scientists alike.

Classified as an iron meteorite (specifically a coarse octahedrite), the Sikhote-Alin meteorite contains a high percentage of iron and nickel, which gives it its distinctive appearance and weight. The surface of the meteorite often features regmaglypts—deep, thumbprint-like impressions that form as the meteorite melts during atmospheric entry. These features make it a unique and valuable specimen for collectors and geologists.

This 92-gram specimen is a carefully selected slice from the Sikhote-Alin fall, showing clear features and offering a glimpse into the cosmic history of our solar system. The fall’s timing and location are historically significant, and owning a piece of it is an opportunity to possess a piece of space history.
