Tonight was the night... This 151 gram slice of Muonionalusta is classified as a fine (IVA) Octahedrite and has a spectacular Widmanstatten etch pattern. Muonionalusta is only rarely found on the meteorite market as most specimens have been locked up in museum collections, with very little in private hands. Kiruna, Sweden, where the Muonionalusta meteorite was found, is located 200 miles North of the Arctic Circle and is not the easiest place to go, but I lived in Sweden in 1981 and flew to Kiruna while I was there... beautiful place (in the Summer. ) The 800,000 year old terrestrial age of this meteorite means it must have undergone a complex glacial transport history before its discovery. No obvious crater could be identified since Sweden (especially its northern parts) has been repeatedly glaciated during the last one million years. It was discovered by a stone crusher when his machine became jammed by a piece of "soft iron". Eventually two pieces of "iron" were encountered and fortunately one was secured before it passed through the crusher.
