METEORITES, TEKTITES & More > MUNDRABILLA
Mundrabilla meteorite was first discovered in 1911, and is iron octahedrite, medium, with sulphide and silicate inclusions (IROMOM). The meteorite came from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter at the time of formation of the solar system some 4.6 billion years ago. Two large masses of some 10 and 15.5 tons were found in 1966 and many small pieces have been collected since then, but unfortunately collecting is no longer allowed. Please note that all our pieces illustrated on our web site are as found; no cleaning, brushing, and no chemical were used.
