Registry: MT204007b Mineral Name: Gibeon Crystals Source: Hardap, Namibia Mineral Size: Various Sale Price: $20.00 each Description:
Probably the most well-known of all iron meteorites, since tons of it have been found in Namibia. It also has the best Widmanstatten pattern and is resistant to rust. In other words: the perfect meteorite.
Officially classified as a fine octahedrite.
But these pieces are different. Every now and then iron meteorites will break along crystallization lines as they go through the atmosphere, and small roughly triangular pieces can be found on the strewnfield. They are commonly called crystals, and here are 6 nice examples of Gibeon crystals.
Just tell me which one you prefer.
And you will find more Gibeon specimens on the Catalog.
