Aletai Meteorite

Discovered in Northwestern China at the base of the Altai Mountains, the Aletai Meteorite is one of the most extraordinary finds on Earth. The first known piece, a massive 28 tonne fragment, was unearthed in 1898. Over the following century, additional smaller pieces were recovered across the same region. In 2021, scientists confirmed that these fragments belong to a single colossal meteorite that scattered over an astonishing 430 kilometer area, the largest known meteorite debris field on our planet.

This meteorite contains a high concentration of iron and nickel, forming a rare alloy called kamacite. When cut and polished in a specific way, the Aletai Meteorite reveals its distinctive Widmanstätten patterns, intricate crystalline structures found only in meteorites. These striking geometric markings are a fingerprint of its interstellar origin and millions of years of cooling in space.

On a metaphysical level, the Aletai Meteorite is more than a specimen, it is a time portal. Believed to originate from rock older than our own planet, it holds the memory of a time before human history. Its grounding iron nickel composition anchors your energy to Earth while simultaneously connecting you to the cosmos, offering a bridge between dimensions, space, and time itself. This is true extraterrestrial energy, inviting you to touch the essence of the universe.
