Native Iron Blaafjeld, Uivfaq (Ovifak), Qeqertarsuaq Island (Disko Island), Kitaa (West Greenland) Province, Greenland 4.52cm x 2.32cm x 2.15cm Ex. R. Buckingham Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A superb, old time example of rare native iron from Greenland!!! 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!!! Most examples of native iron from this classic Greenland locality consist of thin, brittle, rust covered sheets and splinters - however this superb example consists of a significant, dense mass that has been carefully stored for the better part of a decade!!! Old time Greenland native iron specimens of such quality are quite scarce indeed!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and retains an old label (circa 1940's) from Russ Buckingham as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
