Dated to have impacted northern Sweden approximately one million years ago, and initially discovered in 1906, this locality has become one of the best sites for fine octahedrite irons. These meteorites are almost always found buried under several feet of glacial moraine, and require specialized metal detectors to be found at these depths.
Of cube form, this specimen was meticulously cut from a meteorite and then carefully dipped in an acid bath in order to reveal the fine octahedrite Widmanstätten pattern, an extraterrestrial metallic grid in shimmering shades of silver and gray comprising of two forms of extraterrestrial nickel-iron: kamacite and taenite. Additionally, a large and rare troilite inclusion is evident on cube's surface. This is a fine collectible specimen of a well known meteorite. Rarity and difficulty to recover make these specimens uncommon on the market.
