Sikhote-Alin is a historic iron meteorite that fell over eastern Russia in 1947, producing thousands of fusion-crusted fragments across a wide strewn field. Classified as a coarse octahedrite, it consists primarily of kamacite and taenite, often showing regmaglypts and shrapnel-like textures from atmospheric breakup. These specimens are part of a legacy fall — one of the largest witnessed iron meteorite events in recorded history.Energetically, Sikhote-Alin is associated with strength, protection, and cosmic resilience. It’s prized for its grounding presence and connection to celestial impact. Each specimen is housed in a small perspex box (3.5cm × 5.5cm) with a description label.

SIKHOTE‑ALIN METEORITE
Sikhote‑Alin is an iconic iron meteorite from a dramatic 1947 fireball event, where a massive, very bright meteor, fragmented in the atmosphere and scattered thousands of metallic pieces across the Russian Far East. As a coarse octahedrite, it is composed primarily of interlocking kamacite and taenite, shaped by intense heat, pressure, and rapid atmospheric breakup. Many fragments display sculpted regmaglypts, torn edges, and impact‑shrapnel textures that speak to its violent descent. Energetically, Sikhote‑Alin is linked to endurance, protection, and the forging of inner strength. Its iron‑rich structure is associated with anchoring willpower, stabilising scattered energy, and reinforcing personal boundaries. Often seen as a talisman of resilience, it supports those navigating high‑pressure environments or transformative periods. The meteorite’s history of explosive entry and survival mirrors themes of courage, momentum, and the ability to withstand external forces while retaining one’s core integrity. Ideal for those seeking grounding during rapid change, Sikhote‑Alin aligns with themes of fortification, determination, and cosmic ancestry.
