ALETAI METEORITE: THE HISTORY OF SPACE IN YOUR HANDS
The Aletai meteorite, an impressive metallic meteorite, was first discovered in 1898 in the Xinjiang region of China. Aletai is composed mainly of iron and nickel and is about 4.5 billion years old, formed at the beginning of our solar system. When polished and acid-etched, its beautiful internal crystal structure, known as the Widmanstätten pattern, is revealed. Aletai is a unique specimen that combines science with natural beauty, making it ideal for collectors, astronomy enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to hold a piece of space in their hands.
