About the Item

Rare Seymchan meteorites featuring the Wittmannstätten pattern are highly prized among collectors and meteorite enthusiasts due to their unique appearance and scientific significance. Seymchan meteorites originate from the Seymchan region in Russia and are known for their iron-nickel composition and distinctive brecciated structure. The Wittmannstätten pattern, characterized by intricate, swirling Widmanstätten figures—interwoven, crystalline patterns of nickel-iron metal—appears when the meteorite is polished and etched with acid, revealing its beautiful metallic design. These patterns are a hallmark of extraterrestrial origin and provide insight into the cooling and crystallization processes of metallic meteorites. The rarity of Seymchan specimens with prominent Wittmannstätten figures, combined with their striking visual appeal, makes them highly sought after by collectors and a valuable addition to any meteorite collection. This exceptional specimen has been expertly mounted allowing for two forms of presentation - Freestanding in its bespoke base, or detachable brackets for wall mounting.
