MuonionalustaThe Muonionalusta meteorite, Iron (IVA) fine octahedrite, was found in 1906 near Kiruna, Sweden. Several masses have been found over the last century, scattered throughout glacial sediments. This is a significant meteorite shower. The total known weight is now over 5000 kilograms. I have mounted several meteorite hunting expeditions in Sweden and myself have found over 200 kilograms of this meteorite. It has a very nice etch, but can rust, so all of these slices are enclosed in plastic display boxes filled with desiccant beads to prevent oxidation.
