Genuine Gebel Kamil Nickel‑Iron Meteorite Fragment from Egypt – 80g

This Genuine Gebel Kamil Nickel‑Iron Meteorite Fragment is an authentic specimen from the famous Gebel Kamil impact site in Egypt’s Eastern Desert. Formed during a high‑energy iron meteorite explosion thousands of years ago. This 80‑gram fragment displays the dense metallic structure and natural sculpting characteristic of true impact shrapnel.

Gebel Kamil meteorites are classified as nickel‑iron ataxites, known for their high metal content and lack of a Widmanstätten pattern due to their unique cooling history. These fragments are highly sought after by collectors because the impact site was discovered only recently, in 2009, and produced a limited quantity of material. This 80g fragment makes an exceptional addition to any meteorite, natural history, or scientific collection.
