Muonionalusta is located in northern Sweden above the Arctic Circle. While meteorite hunters have unearthed numerous masses in recent years, it was in 1906 that children discovered the first Muonionalusta meteorite while engaging in favorite childhood pastime. While kicking rocks a child struck a heavy object which was later verified to be an iron meteorite. Many large, and hundreds of small pieces, have been found; as it is one of the largest strewnfields on Earth known to cover an area 50 km by 20km. Muonionalusta meteorites are perfect for slicing as they are weathered, indistinct and shapeless. But when you cut through a Muonionalusta meteorite, the interior matrix is inarguably breathtaking. It is an excellent example of displaying the Widmanstatten pattern

It is classified as an iron, fine octahedrite, with a bandwidth of 0.3mm and ~8.02% Ni.
