Description

This is an incredibly rare meteorite from Pennsylvania. It was found in November of 1887 by a local who was digging a hole to plant an apple tree. It is incredibly rare as the majority of it is held in institutions. 


Note: It is stable, though obviously has surface rust that has been on it from more than 30 years. The weight listed on the label is accurate indicating it has not rusted further.

We strive to take the best pictures possible that truly represent the specimen. You will always receive the specimen in the picture unless otherwise stated. We do not alter the colors of the mineral/gemstone in photoshop. We do commonly remove or alter the background to remove anything that will distract from the center piece of the picture.

 Do not miss out on this specimen. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I realize International Shipping many times is expensive. The international shipping price listed will always be for Priority Shipping, if you would prefer the slower and cheaper First-Class mail service, please let me know and I will adjust the shipping cost.
