Native Iron Ozernaya Mount, Dzheltul'skii massif, Kureika river, Taymyrskiy Autonomous Okrug, Eastern-Siberian Region, Russia 5.6cm x 4.53cm x .36cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A rare example of native iron from Russia!!! Iron, as a native element, is quite rare because it so readily oxidizes and forms other compounds!!! Most examples of elemental iron are usually encountered as meteorites, with actual terrestrial examples of native iron being very scarce indeed!!! This specimen consists of an extremely rich example of terrestrial native iron bound in basalt matrix!!! The specimen has been cut and polished to a brilliant finish on both sides!!! The natural edges of the specimen can be seen around the perimeter of the specimen as well!!! Simply a fantastic example of this rare native element!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
