IRON METEORITES FOR SALE |
Top quality
AAA-grade sculptural specimens, really the best of the best |
| SIKHOTE-ALIN
SUPER PREMIUM INDIVIDUALS Iron Meteorite (IIAB) I recently purchased a superb old collection of Sikhote-Alins. The specimens had been hidden away for many years and are easily among the very best I have seen in ten years of specializing in this fabulous Russian meteorite. These outstanding individuals have truly extraordinary shapes. I do not expect to ever again see specimens of a comparable quality on the market. These really are our best of the best.

As
a collector and enthusiast, Sikhote-Alin is easily my favorite meteorite.
The Sikhote-Alin shower of 1947 took place in a remote area of eastern
Russia and was the largest single meteoritic event documented in modern
times. It is an extremely rare witnessed fall iron, and many individuals
display the classic characteristics of meteorites: regmaglypts, orientation,
rollover lips, and even impact pits from in-flight collisions with other
meteorites! Sikhote-Alin is an extremely stable and affordable meteorite.
Once relatively available in the marketplace, intensive hunting at the
fall site has resulted in the area being completely hunted out, and no
new specimens now make it into collectors' hands.
