About Aletai Meteorite

The Aletai meteorite, previously known as the Armanty meteorite and Xinjiang meteorite is one of the largest known iron meteorites and is classified as a coarse octahedrite. The Aletai meteorite was discovered in 1898 in China's Xinjiang region. The Aletai meteorite is known for its remarkable composition, containing a rich blend of metals and minerals. This extraterrestrial stone is primarily composed of iron and nickel, with trace elements such as cobalt, and other minerals that add to its mystique. The Aletai meteorite has a unique Widmanstätten pattern of etched lines that is caused by its crystallization in space. The pattern is visible when the meteorite is cut, polished, and then enhanced through an etching process. Its unique makeup offers a tangible connection to the cosmos and makes it a prized material for collectors and creators alike.
