NWA 5549 – Silicated Iron Meteorite (End Cut)
This impressive 7,700 g end cut of the rare silicated iron meteorite NWA 5549 reveals a striking interplay between metallic iron-nickel and dark silicate inclusions. The cut surface exposes the internal structure with clarity, while the rear side preserves a rugged natural exterior with remnants of fusion crust and terrestrial oxidation. Presented on a rotating display stand, the specimen is shown alongside a hand to provide a clear sense of its substantial scale. End cuts are particularly sought after for their ability to display both interior composition and exterior morphology, making this a powerful and visually compelling piece for advanced collections or institutional display.
