Native Iron
Ozernaya Mount, Dzheltul'skii massif, Kureika river, Taymyrskiy Autonomous Okrug, Eastern-Siberian Region, Russia
5.25cm x 2.75cm x .2cm
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!!! This specimen hosts some
particularly large individual masses of native iron as well!!! 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!!!
