Aletai Meteorite on Black Metal Stand – China
An extraordinary collector's piece, this authentic Aletai meteorite originates from China's Xinjiang region, where it was first discovered in 1898.
Weighing 10 grams, this rare iron meteorite features a distinctive rugged surface and is composed primarily of iron and nickel. Its remarkable crystalline structure was formed through an exceptionally slow cooling process in space, taking approximately 100,000 years to cool by just one degree Celsius.
Presented on an elegant black metal stand with brass detailing, the meteorite appears to float through an innovative magnetic levitation system, highlighting its fascinating extraterrestrial origins and natural sculptural beauty.
A unique fusion of science, natural history and contemporary design, this exceptional piece makes a striking addition to a sophisticated study, library or modern interior.
