Here's a few of mine

Martian Tissint



Buzzard Coulee



Gibeon - my favorite due to the etch and stability



I'll have to photograph my collection and post it in the proper thread.

Very nice Is that fusion crust and nickel flecks on your Tissant I see sciflyer25.

 

[sciflyer25]

Yes TJE, fresh fusion crust. Not sure if the metal flecks are nickel or iron. This piece is only 140+ mg, but my 10x Belomo loupe really brings out all detail, especially the black glass pockets.

It sure has that familiar look!
Your Buzzard must have some dark fusion too doesnt it

 

[sciflyer25]

Yes, mostly crusted. I eventually would like to get a whole stone. Nothing like a fresh fall with fusion crust!

Great photos. The last two photos show a crystal structure called Widmanstatten Pattern. Awesome specimens!

Happy Hunting,

SF25, Are you familiar with the Muonionalusta irons from northern Sweden. They are also a fine octahedrite iron like the Gibeon. They pretty much look identical when etched. I believe it was first discovered in the very early 1900's. I have a picture of an etched slice on one of my meteorite jewelry posts on this forum. SC1

Hey Cutter, yes, I have a slice of Muonionalusta. The etch and patterns are close to Gibeon, but I think Gibeon has better luster in good lighting. Also, my Gibeon has crust where my Muonionalusta is a square 1.5 x 1.5 inches.
They both make fine jewelry and are stable as I understand.

Just what I was thinking to sf25, your Gibeon and the likes would make Awsome necklaces!

AWESOME collection!!!... sf25.

Wow! Great collection. I've never bought one, but I have found quite a few at Gold Basin, in Arizona. It is the only "Fossil" strewnfield, other than Antartica, and I'm lucky to have found several Gold Basin meteorites.

SF25, That is a nice collection for sure! I'm working on a few new meteorite jewelry pieces. I hope to have some pics up as I finish them. I have one 14KT yellow pendant with a Gibeon slice,it has a triangle cut moissanite and 3 bezel set sapphires mounted in it. It is posted on this site under Gibeon iron meteorite pendant
