Own a powerful piece of extraterrestrial history with this genuine Sikhote-Alin meteorite, a rare iron meteorite from the famous witnessed fall over eastern Russia on February 12, 1947. This specimen is a remnant of one of the largest and most dramatic meteorite showers in recorded history, where a superbolide exploded in the atmosphere and rained thousands of iron fragments across the Sikhote-Alin Mountains.

Composed primarily of iron and nickel, each piece displays characteristic features such as regmaglypts (thumbprint-like impressions), fusion crust, and oriented flow lines formed during its fiery descent through Earth’s atmosphere. Encased in a labeled collector’s display box with a certificate of authenticity, this is a must-have for serious collectors, science lovers, or anyone fascinated by space and impact events.
