This 215.2g Aletai iron meteorite cube is from the historic Aletai strewn field in Xinjiang, China, first documented in 1898. Formed from iron and nickel within an asteroid’s metallic core, Aletai material represents one of the most direct types of extraterrestrial matter available to collectors.
The etched surfaces show the Widmanstätten pattern, a natural structure created only through very slow cooling over immense timescales. In cube form, the pattern is visible across multiple faces, giving the specimen both scientific depth and premium display value.
