WS-1884-Meteo

On display at Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.

At the museum, they claim that out of all the +3,000 known minerals, they have over 1,000 of them. Incredible displays of row afer row of cabinets displaying minerals from all over the world, from giant salt blocks to Meteorites and diamonds and gold and stalagmites.

Here, we have a meteorite that impacted in Wisconsin, in 1844. This one is interesting because of that strange transient coating of the polished metal.
