No reserve KAALIJARV sculptural piece 151.8g, KAALI CRATER Iron meteorite - 151.8 g

Kaali crater meteorites originate from a group of meteorite impact craters located on the Estonian island of Saaremaa. These meteorites are pieces of iron-nickel alloy created from the descent and explosive impact of extraterrestrial material onto Earth's surface, estimated to have occurred around 3,500 years ago. The Kaali jarv sculptural piece weighing 151.8 grams is a fragment likely collected from these craters, where the force of impact shattered and distributed sizable fragments. Iron meteorites such as this are often prized by collectors and scientists alike for their extraterrestrial origin, representing material from the early solar system and sometimes older than the Earth itself. The sculptural aspect underscores the natural form and intriguing geometry these meteorites take, with characteristic etched and crystalline Widmanstätten patterns often revealed upon polishing. Collecting such specimens offers a tangible connection to space, impacting interest from astronomy enthusiasts, mineralogists, and art collectors fascinated by natural cosmic phenomena.
