Météorite de fer de Dronino, spécimen complet

Dronino Iron Meteorite--Complete individual
Iron, Ataxite

Discovered by a Russian mushroom hunter in July of 2002, Dronino is a rare type of iron-nickel meteorite which does not exhibit a Widmanstätten pattern when etched, due to the high nickel content. Ataxites are known as ungrouped irons as they do not match the chemistry of any of the other iron-nickel groups and most certainly come from a different planetary body than the other irons. Offered is a superb, large Dronino specimen. Weighing approximately 1137.93 grams and measuring 5 x 15 x 9 cm
