Cook Islands Meteorite Muonionalusta with Embedded Fragment $5 2011 Proof Silver Coin COA

Meteorite showers, which fall toward the earth, occur daily. However, only some make it to the surface of our planet. Most of them disintegrate in the atmosphere. The discoveries of these meteorites are special in every occasion. By coincidence two boys discovered this special meteorite from outer space in Muonionalusta, Sweden. The meteorite in question is the fine octahedrite class IVA. On closer inspection the texture of the surface catches ones eye first. The very technical looking structure occurs by an extreme slow cooling down from 1 up to 100 degrees per million years, an unimaginable slow process.
