21.8 g Seymchan meteorite slice with etched Widmanstätten texture, Russia

Rarity and Value
This 21.8-gram polished Seymchan slice reveals a spectacular Widmanstätten pattern across a 5.0 x 3.0 mm surface, showcasing the slow cooling history of its iron-nickel matrix. Its weight and form strike the perfect balance for display or study, with crystalline bands that shimmer under light and accentuate the metal’s natural geometry.

Discovery
Unearthed in the remote Magadan region of Russia, the Seymchan meteorite has yielded only a limited number of well-preserved metallic slices. This piece, cut from the iron-rich section of the fall, connects us directly to a once-molten planetary core that survived eons in orbit before its impact on Earth.

Human Touch
Polished and acid-etched by hand, the surface is a result of precise craftsmanship paired with scientific knowledge. It’s a dialogue between nature and human curiosity—a mirror of the cosmos forged in metal and time.
