Mont Dieu Iron, Fine octahedrite (IIE).This beautiful meteorite was found by artifact hunters in the Ardennes forest, France, in 1994. While searching for WWII artifacts, a large meteorite was found, and since then, many more pieces have been dug up. Mont Dieu is a very rare type IIE iron, with high sulfide content seen in the wormy triolites, and a very fine micro-etch pattern. It contains abundant triolite, schreibersite, metallic copper, and rare chromite inclusions. Most of this meteorite is highly weathered, so nice solid pieces are rare. I bought a large slice and had these pieces perfectly cut and prepared. |
