This classification refers to meteorites with a particular chemical composition and crystallographic structure. Meteorites in this group generally exhibit an octahedral structure, meaning that when cut and polished, they display distinctive patterns called Widmanstätten figures. IIIE meteorites, like Aletai, are characterized by the presence of kamacite (low-nickel iron) and taenite (high-nickel iron) bands forming the typical octahedral pattern. Aletai is exceptional because it has the highest gold concentration in the IIIE group and a significantly higher iridium concentration than other meteorites in this group. Since the amount of iridium in meteorites is much higher than that found in the Earth's crust, it was precisely the unusually high concentration of iridium found at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, about 65 million years ago, that formed the basis of the theory that the impact of a giant meteorite may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. It was discovered in 1898 in the Xinjiang region, and the total mass found is estimated at around 100 tons. The largest single fragment weighs 28 tons, making it the fifth largest meteorite ever found on Earth. The dispersal field was extremely vast, extending up to 500 kilometers, initially causing errors in the identification of the various fragments and the use of different names such as Armanty, Ulasitai, and others. After chemical and petrographic analyses, it was discovered that all fragments came from the same event and had the same composition. Today they all bear the unified name Aletai, while the other names have become historical synonyms. An interesting aspect is that by changing the angle of illumination, the reflectivity of the two main alloys present in the meteorite also changes, making the sample appear sparkling. This effect is common in meteorites with an octahedral crystalline structure, but Aletai is particularly spectacular due to the bright, mirror-like inclusions of the mineral Schreibersite. Schreibersite is believed to have been one of the main sources of phosphorus brought to Earth by meteorites and may have played a fundamental role in the origin of life. It is a rare mineral composed of iron and nickel phosphide but is commonly found in iron meteorites. Its color ranges from bronze to brass yellow to silvery white. Schreibersite is named after the Austrian scientist Carl Franz Anton Ritter von Schreibers, one of the first to identify this mineral in iron meteorites. This rare mineral has been discovered in several meteorites around the world, including the Magura meteorite in Slovakia, the Sikhote-Alin meteorite in Eastern Russia, the São Julião de Moreira meteorite in Viana do Castelo, the Gebel Kamil meteorite in Egypt, and many other meteorites, including those from the Moon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027491819845,"sku":"P\/M085","price":177.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/61697_photoroom-012-20251029-171856.jpg?v=1779376772"},{"product_id":"aletai-meteorite-pendant-random-piece-npm004","title":"Aletai Meteorite Pendant – random piece - NP\/M004","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial used to attach the meteorite to the jewel: stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Iron meteorite \/ IIIE-an\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Xinjiang, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.7-3.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 1.9 x 0.9 x 0.2 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: none - Raw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: chain NOT included, photo is for illustration only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe price is for 1 piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Aletai meteorite belongs to the IIIE group, a specific type of iron meteorite.

This classification refers to meteorites with a particular chemical composition and crystallographic structure. Meteorites of this group generally exhibit an octahedral structure, which means that, when cut and polished, they show particular patterns called Widmanstätten figures. IIIE meteorites, such as Aletai, are characterized by the presence of kamacite (low-nickel iron) and taenite (high-nickel iron) bands that form the typical octahedral pattern. Aletai is exceptional because it has the highest gold concentration in the IIIE group and a significantly higher iridium concentration than other meteorites in this group. Since the amount of iridium in meteorites is much higher than that found in the Earth's crust, it was the unusually high iridium concentration found at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, about 65 million years ago, that formed the basis of the theory that the impact of a giant meteorite may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. It was discovered in 1898 in the Xinjiang region and the total mass found is estimated at around 100 tons. The largest single fragment weighs 28 tons, making it the fifth largest meteorite ever found on Earth. The dispersion field was extremely vast, extending up to 500 kilometers, initially causing errors in the identification of the various fragments and the use of different names such as Armanty, Ulasitai and others. After chemical and petrographic analyses, it was discovered that all fragments came from the same event and had the same composition. Today they all bear the unified name of Aletai, while the other names have become historical synonyms. An interesting aspect is that by changing the angle of illumination, the reflectivity of the two main alloys present in the meteorite also changes, making the sample appear shimmering. This effect is common in meteorites with an octahedral crystalline structure, but Aletai is particularly spectacular due to the shiny, mirror-like inclusions of the mineral Schreibersite.

After chemical and petrographic analyses, it was discovered that all fragments came from the same event and had the same composition. Today, they all bear the unified name of Aletai, while the other names have become historical synonyms. An interesting aspect is that by changing the lighting angle, the reflectivity of the two main alloys present in the meteorite also varies, making the sample appear shimmering. This effect is common in meteorites with an octahedral crystalline structure, but Aletai is particularly spectacular thanks to the shiny, mirror-like inclusions of the Schreibersite mineral. Schreibersite is believed to have been one of the main sources of phosphorus transported to Earth by meteorites and may have played a fundamental role in the origin of life. It is a rare mineral composed of iron and nickel phosphide, but it is commonly found in iron meteorites. Its color varies from bronze to brass yellow to silvery white. Schreibersite is named after the Austrian scientist Carl Franz Anton Ritter von Schreibers, one of the first to identify this mineral in iron meteorites. This rare mineral has been discovered in several meteorites worldwide, including the Magura meteorite in Slovakia, the Sikhote-Alin meteorite in Eastern Russia, the São Julião de Moreira meteorite in Viana do Castelo, the Gebel Kamil meteorite in Egypt, and many other meteorites, including those from the Moon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027501027653,"sku":"P\/M093","price":80.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/66513_photoroom-006-20260106-192033.jpg?v=1779376828"},{"product_id":"aletai-meteorite-pendant-heart-pm092","title":"Heart-shaped Aletai meteorite pendant - P\/M092","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial used to fix the meteorite to the jewel: stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: iron meteorite \/ IIIE-an\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Xinjiang, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.3g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 1.9 x 1.5 x 0.2 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: filled with resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: chain NOT included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful structure with so-called Widmanstätten patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Quality!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Aletai meteorite belongs to the IIIE group, a specific type of iron meteorite. This classification refers to meteorites with a particular chemical composition and crystallographic structure. Meteorites in this group generally have an octahedral structure, meaning that when cut and polished, they display distinctive patterns called Widmanstätten figures. IIIE meteorites, like Aletai, are characterized by the presence of kamacite (low-nickel iron) and taenite (high-nickel iron) bands that form the typical octahedral pattern. Aletai is exceptional because it has the highest gold concentration in the IIIE group and a significantly higher iridium concentration than other meteorites in this group. Since the amount of iridium in meteorites is much higher than that found in the Earth's crust, it was precisely the unusually high iridium concentration found at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, about 65 million years ago, that formed the basis of the theory that the impact of a giant meteorite may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. It was discovered in 1898 in the Xinjiang region, and the total mass found is estimated at around 100 tons. The largest single fragment weighs 28 tons, making it the fifth largest meteorite ever found on Earth. The strewn field was extremely vast, extending up to 500 kilometers, initially causing errors in identifying the various fragments and the use of different names such as Armanty, Ulasitai, and others. After chemical and petrographic analyses, it was discovered that all fragments came from the same event and had the same composition. Today, they all bear the unified name Aletai, while the other names have become historical synonyms.

This classification includes meteorites with specific chemical compositions and crystallographic structures. Meteorites in this group tend to display an octahedral structure, meaning that when cut and polished, they reveal the characteristic patterns known as Widmanstätten figures. IIIE meteorites, like Aletai, are characterized by the presence of kamacite (low-nickel iron) and taenite (high-nickel iron) bands that form the octahedral pattern.\nUniqueness of the Aletai meteorite\nAletai is exceptional for the highest gold concentration among IIIE group meteorites and a significantly higher iridium concentration compared to others in the same group. Since the amount of iridium in meteorites is much higher than that in the Earth's crust, the unusually high iridium concentration found at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary 65 million years ago formed the basis of the theory that a massive meteorite impact may have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.\nDiscovery and distribution\nThe meteorite was discovered in 1898 in the Xinjiang region of China. The total mass found is estimated at approximately 74 tons. The largest fragment weighs 28 tons, making it the fifth largest meteorite on Earth. The impact field covered an area of up to 500 kilometers, initially causing discrepancies in identification and naming. Different names such as Armanty and Ulasitai were later unified under the name Aletai after chemical analysis.\nMineralogy and visual effects\nAn interesting feature is that when the angle of light changes, the reflectivity of the main alloys changes, and the sample sparkles.

This classification encompasses meteorites with certain chemical compositions and crystallographic structures. Meteorites in this group tend to exhibit an octahedral structure, meaning that when cut and polished, they reveal characteristic patterns known as Widmanstätten figures. IIIE meteorites, like Aletai, are characterized by the presence of kamacite (low-nickel iron) and taenite (high-nickel iron) bands that form the octahedral pattern.\nUniqueness of the Aletai Meteorite\nAletai is exceptional for the highest concentration of gold among IIIE group meteorites and a significantly higher iridium concentration compared to others in the same group. Since the amount of iridium in meteorites is much higher than that in Earth's crust, the unusually high concentration of iridium found at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary 65 million years ago formed the basis of the theory that a massive meteorite impact may have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.\nDiscovery and Distribution\nThe meteorite was discovered in 1898 in the Xinjiang region of China. The total mass found is estimated at about 74 metric tons. The largest fragment weighs 28 metric tons, making it the fifth-largest meteorite on Earth. The strewn field covered an area up to 500 kilometers, initially causing discrepancies in identification and naming. Different names such as Armanty and Ulasitai were later unified under the name Aletai after chemical analysis.\nMineralogy and Visual Effects\nAn interesting feature is that as the angle of light changes, the reflectivity of the main alloys changes, and the sample sparkles. This effect is typical for octahedral structures, but Aletai is particularly spectacular due to the presence of shiny, mirror-like inclusions of the mineral schreibersite.\nSchreibersite is considered the primary source of phosphorus, which may have played a crucial role in the origin of life on Earth.

It is a rare mineral composed of iron and nickel phosphide, but it is commonly found in iron meteorites. Its color varies from bronze to brassy yellow to silvery white. Schreibersite is named after the Austrian scientist Carl Franz Anton Ritter von Schreibers, one of the first to identify this mineral in iron meteorites. This rare mineral has been discovered in several meteorites worldwide, including the Magura meteorite in Slovakia, the Sikhote-Alin meteorite in Eastern Russia, the São Julião de Moreira meteorite in Viana do Castelo, the Gebel Kamil meteorite in Egypt, and many other meteorites, including those from the Moon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027668570437,"sku":"P\/M094","price":80.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/66516_photoroom-008-20260106-192033.jpg?v=1779377555"},{"product_id":"comet-pendant-made-from-the-aletai-meteorite-pm135","title":"Comet shaped pendant from Aletai meteorite - P\/M135","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial used to attach meteorite to jewelry: base metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: iron meteorite \/ IIIE-an\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Xinjiang, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.8g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 3.3 x 1.3 x 0.2 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface finish: Gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: chain NOT included, meteorite is Gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful structure with so-called Widmanstätten patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Quality!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eComet pendant made from the Aletai meteorite represents a real piece of space.
