Recovered from the edge of the Kalahari Desert, Gibeon iron meteorites are the bounty of a huge meteorite shower that occurred thousands of years ago that exploded and rained down in an elliptical strewn field in what is now Namibia. Local tribesman recovered this specimen with the aid of a metal detector. Generations earlier, Gibeon meteorites found at the surface by indigenous tribesmen were fashioned into spearpoints and other tools. When cut and etched, the intergrowth of a Gibeon's iron-nickel alloys (it's crystalline structure) is revealed in an exquisite natural design which does not appear in terrestrial ores, and the pattern of Gibeon meteorites is among the most beautiful known. Blanketed with the variegated ochre patina which is the hallmark of the best Gibeon meteorites, this is a superior example of a complete iron meteorite.
