Aletai Meteorite Slice – Etched Iron-Nickel Meteorite from China – Widmanstätten Pattern

The Aletai meteorite is an iron meteorite classified as coarse octahedrite (IAB group), discovered in China. This slice has been carefully cut, polished, and etched with acid to reveal the distinctive Widmanstätten pattern — interlocking crystals of kamacite and taenite that form only during the slow cooling of metal alloys in outer space.

• Type: Iron meteorite (IAB-MG group)
• Structure: Coarse octahedrite
• Locality: Aletai, Xinjiang Province, China
