$570.00

Name: Gebel Kamil
Classification:Iron ungrouped
Weight: 317g
Description:Good condition meteorite cleaned by the finders.
Provenance: I work with finders and brokers directly in the region.
Process: Cleaned by the finders.
Collector's Notes: This is from old lot that was mostly presented as found but had some pieces that were cleaned to remove the terrestrial rind. This allows the detail to really "shine" showing evidence of the massive fireball and impact that defines this meteorite find. The edge deformation and textured surfaces are both sought after features by met collectors. Really though, it just get me everytime that holding an iron meteorite is holding the iron core of a planetary body that no longer exists. Just awesome.
Classification Information: "Etched sections show an ataxitic structure interrupted on a cm-scale by crystals of schreibersite, troilite and daubreelite enveloped in swathing kamacite. Kamacite spindles (20 ± 5 μm wide) nucleated on tiny schreibersite crystals. The spindles form small aligned clusters and are rimmed by taenite. The matrix is a duplex plessite made of approximately the same proportion of kamacite and taenite lamellae (1-5 μm in thickness) arranged in a micro-Widmanstätten pattern. Many sections show, particularly close to the external surface, shear dislocations offsetting the plessitic matrix and the crystals of the accessory phases by several millimeters." -MB 98
Class information:Iron Ungrouped meteorites are exceptionally rare iron meteorites whose chemistry and structure do not match any recognized iron meteorite group. Formed by the slow cooling of molten iron nickel deep within the cores of ancient differentiated asteroids, they often display beautiful Widmanstatten patterns when polished and etched. Because each ungrouped iron represents a unique evolutionary history, these meteorites provide important evidence of previously unknown parent bodies and the remarkable diversity of planetary cores that existed in the early Solar System.Visit the Handful of Space E-bay Storeand never miss out on the newest meteorites by adding us to your favorite sellers!
