Sikhote-Alin Meteorite in Collector's Box

The Sikhote-Alin Meteorite, which fell in southeastern Russia on February 12, 1947, represents one of the largest and most widely witnessed meteorite falls in recorded history. The meteorite's fiery descent created a dust and smoke trail over 20 miles long, with an impact that could be heard 200 miles away. Approximately 70 metric tons of the meteorite survived after impact. This specimen, primarily composed of iron, also includes nickel, copper, phosphorus, and sulfur, making it a fascinating gallery-worthy addition to any meteorite collection.
