An unusual and highly collectable genuine meteorite pyramid
Measures - 2.5 x 2cm
This is a super item and consists of a polished section of the Nantan meteorite which has been skilfully encased in yellow resin.
It is labelled on the bottom so whoever inspects it will know exactly where the meteorite comes from.
This is a truly legendary meteorite fall. The meteorite was a HUGE iron meteorite fall in China in 1516
There are stories that the Chinese people were short of iron at one point and the Government decreed that people should go out in the streets and collect whatever iron they could find to be melted down to make pots and pans.
Apparently much of the iron that was found and used was actually iron from this meteorite fall!
They had no idea then of it's origins....
The fragment inside weighs about 2 grams but I can't be exactly sure as I didn't make the pyramid.
