Sikhote-Alin, Russia
{short description of image}
.
Large, complete slice, 334.2 grams

The most important iron meteorite Fall to be witnessed by modern man occurred over Siberia, Russia on February 12, 1947. Classified as a IIB, coarsest octahedrite, an estimated 70 tonnes of these iron/nickel masses rained down over an area of approximately 1/2 sq miles.
This large, 334.2 grams slice from this meteorite fall has been carefully etched to show the Widmanstatten Pattern of a coarsest octahedrite as well as the many shreibersite and troilite inclusions seen in the supporting images.
Large, complete slices, suitable for display of this important Fall, are difficult to find now.

Abee, 154 grams, EH4 - Impact-melt chondrite
 

The parent bodies of many meteorites - SNC's (Mars), achondrites (Vesta), lunar (Moon) are known. The parent body for this rare class of meteorites, enstatite chondrites, is not.

On June 10, 1952 one of this rare class of stone meteorites, enstatite chondrites, fell in Alberta, Canada. Analysis has shown that this meteorite, Abee, is unlike all other enstatite chondrites. It's brecciated structure (large clasts of 2 cm to 15 cm ) indicates that "Abee" is from the surface of it's unknown parent body.

The pieces offered have been carefully prepared and polished to vividly display Abee's unique, bi-modal, brecciated structure. Note the few chondrules in the large, lower clast.- chondrules are rare in Abee specimens, almost all melting from a cosmic impact event.
Abee, 154 grams, 163mm x 65mm x 6mm, fusion-crusted along the entire curved surface, polished slice, displaying large, angular clasts, a magnificient specimen for display, $ 8,987.00

L'Aigle, Orne, France
An estimated several thousand small stones fell over Orne, France on April 26, 1803. "Huge" defines both the fall and it's significance in the history of meteoritics. The detailed report of the phenomena by J.B. Biot, Chemist, first established beyond doubt the fact that stones can fall from outer space, (J.B.Biot, Mém. Inst. France, 1806, 7, p.224 ). These are nice, stable specimens of an important Historic Fall.
