Physical properties
Hardness 4-5 on Mohs scale, metallic gray-brown color, metallic luster, octahedrite crystal structure, specific gravity around 7.8.
Formation & geological history
Formed in the early solar system approximately 4.5 billion years ago from the molten core of a differentiated asteroid.
Uses & applications
Used primarily in scientific research, educational displays, and as highly prized collector specimens.
Geological facts
This specific dumbbell-shaped morphology is extremely rare, resulting from unique aerodynamic ablation during atmospheric entry.
Field identification & locations
Identify by high density, magnetic properties, and nickel-iron composition; commonly found in strewn fields worldwide.
