Gibeon Meteorite Polished Slices from the TowerCrystals internet collection
Gibeon Meteorite in its original form. The Shapes are cut from fragments of these. This meteorite is not for sale!
Apparently a large meteorite burst high in the atmosphere and fragments landed in the Gibeon desert in Namibia, Africa. The Gibeon meteorite fragments are spread over a strewn field 70 miles (120 km) wide by 230 miles (390 km) long--one of the largest strewn fields in the world.
The Widmanstatten crystalized pattern of the nickel-iron provides undisputed proof among those who study meteorites that the material is not of earth origin. Each of these shapes has been polished from a Gibeon Meteorite fragment.
