Sectioned Slice of A Sikhote-Alin Iron and Nickel Meteorite. Because of their high value and scarcity in larger sizes, sectioned and polished slices of Sikhote-Alin meteorites are very difficult to obtain. This complete section is 3"x2½" and weighs 87gms and contains its complete fusion crust around its periphery. Unlike some other iron-nickel meteorites, the Widmanstaten pattern on Sikhote-Alin meteorites just show wide bands of the two different nicket alloys instead of fine lines.

Also included with this meteorite is a new 1957 Russian commemorative stamp showing the famous painting of what the Sikhote-Alin meteorite looked on the morning of Feb. 12, 1947 over Siberia. Housed in a 5½" x 4 ½" Ryker mount. Add $10 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.

 
Realized $316
