humanoidhistory:

Large iron meteorite from meteor crater, Coconino County, Arizona: “From one of the most legendary impacts of all time, this meteorite’s gleaming surface contains scores of softened crests and ridges. Like all iron meteorites, this meteorite originated in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Accompanied by a custom armature, this is a strapping example of the preeminent American meteor.” Oooh, it’s strapping! Like a hunky stable boy in a romance novel. Sold for $27,500.
