This is a stunning museum-grade Mundrabilla Iron Meteorite specimen from the remote Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia. It features a naturally sculpted form with metallic luster and an impressive presence for its size. The specimen measures approximately 0.75” long and just under 0.50” wide, with a solid weight of 9.13 grams.
The Mundrabilla Meteorite is one of the largest meteorite finds on Earth, with a total known weight exceeding 22 tons. It impacted our planet around 1 million years ago, scattering iron-rich fragments across the vast desert plains. First officially discovered in 1911, these ancient visitors from space are part of a group of IAB iron meteorites known for their nickel-iron composition and distinct Widmanstätten patterns when cut and etched.
Specimens from Mundrabilla are highly prized by collectors and researchers alike, and they represent a tangible connection to the early solar system. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a passionate beginner, this rare piece of cosmic history would make a powerful addition to any meteorite or natural history collection.
