Gibeon Slice
Iron, Fine Octahedrite
Great Nama Land, Namibia, Africa
Gibeon is known for its stability, aesthetic qualities and an outstanding Widmanstätten pattern when etched. Gibeon meteorites are becoming harder to come by and are highly sought after by collectors. The present Gibeon's crystalline pattern, formed by extremely slow cooling within its parent asteroid, offers instant visual gratification through its professionally cut, polished and etched single face. Here is a collector's piece worthy of any display case. Weighing approximately 117.9 grams and measuring 70 x 60 x 4mm (2.76 x 2.36 x 0.16 in)
