18.2g Muonionalusta Iron Meteorite Shark Pendant | LK321

A shark cut from Muonionalusta iron meteorite — 18.2 g, 3.5 mm thick. The subject suits the material better than most. A shark is a long uninterrupted silhouette, and on a 3.5 mm section the crystal pattern runs the length of the body without anything breaking it up.

The structure

Meteorites divide into iron, stony, and stony-iron. This is the first kind — essentially elemental iron-nickel — and it is identified by the crystal lattice inside it, which only appears after etching with nitric acid or a similar solution. The lattice cannot be manufactured; it is the product of cooling over geological time in open space.
