Discovered in Namibia
Price: $5820.00

Code: metm216_nantan-meteorite
This is a natural Nantan Iron Meteorite weighing 3.22 kilograms (7.08 pounds)
Genuine Nantan Iron Meteorite Dimensions: 6.3" long x 3.5" wide x 3" thick
Discovered at Yaozhai, Nantan, Guangxi Province, China
Price: $515.20
This genuine Nantan meteorite has a relatively flat shape. It is in natural condition and makes a great collector specimen just as it is, although it also could be sawn and then etched to show its amazing Widmanstatten octahedral pattern of intergrown crystallized iron and nickel. See also an opposite side view of this natural Nantan meteorite. The Nantan meteorite fall is one of the very rare witnessed iron meteorite falls on Earth. It fell from the northwest in May of 1516 during the reign of Chinese emperor Zhendge, with falling stars as bright as lightning that "waved like snakes & dragons" and then disapeared in a few seconds. Centuries passed with no further record until 1958 during the severe steel shortage of chairman Mao Tsetung's "Great Leap Forward" program when even the local farmer's cooking pots were melted down to produce steel. Some farmers at Nantan then discovered heavy iron rich rocks that they were unable to melt. Government investigators arrived and determined the "iron ore" to be meteorites!
 

We have genuine iron nickel meteorites from several locations worldwide:

See also our page displaying genuine Meteorite Spheres with etched surfaces showing their amazing widmanstatten patterns!

Iron-nickel meteorites are thought to have formed from molten planetary core material which cooled very slowly out in space. Meteors in space generally travel at very high velocity. Upon entering the earth's atmosphere, friction causes extreme heat and ablation to meteors and most burn up completely before reaching the earth's surface! Those which actually reach the earth's surface are known as meteorites. Large meteors can break up into many smaller pieces while entering earth's atmosphere, and if enough of these reach the earth's surface they can sometimes be found spread out over specific areas known as strewn fields. Finding an individual raw meteorite outside of a strewn field is very rare.

Tektites: Indochinite tektite Moldavite Necklace

During some meteorite impacts here on earth, it is believed that both the surface of the earth and the meteorite itself melt together and are thrown or splashed into the air by the force of the meteorite impact's explosion, fusing into natural glass tektites which cooled quickly while flying up into the air and then falling back down to the earth.

The transparent green Moldavite is a natural silicate glass tektite.

Tektites, including moldavite, are believed by scientists to have formed from the intense heat and extreme pressure produced during a meteorite impact on or near the surface of the earth.

See our page displaying genuine moldavite jewelry, with all natural moldavite jewelry designs including beautiful moldavite necklaces and genuine moldavite rings. See also our genuine moldavite bracelets.

Libyan Desert Glass Tektite Moldavite: Natural Moldavite

See also our genuine Tektites including the natural Libyan Desert Glass Tektites, and our page displaying Genuine Moldavite.

We also have genuine Tektite Jewelry available in rings, pendants and necklaces. Wind blown desert sands sculpt the Libyan desert glass tektites into interesting shapes with a semi-polished natural surface finish. Those who trek to Eastern Egypt's uninhabited regions in search of these Lybian desert glass tektites risk much as the region is one of Earth's most inhospitable places, and finding a medjool date palm oasis is very unlikely!
