Aletai Meteorite on Brass 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 dark, irregular 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 brass stand with an innovative magnetic levitation system, the meteorite appears to float effortlessly, showcasing its natural sculptural beauty and fascinating extraterrestrial origins.

A unique fusion of science, natural history and refined design, this exceptional piece makes a striking addition to a sophisticated study, library or contemporary interior.
