Canyon Diablo Meteorite in a dome

The Canyon Diablo Meteorite, first found in 1891, is categorized as IAB in composition. It is elegantly showcased within a protective dome.

The Canyon Diablo meteorite comes from the famous Meteor Crater in Arizona, created when a massive iron asteroid struck the Earth about 50,000 years ago. These iron-nickel fragments are some of the most iconic meteorites in the world, known for their rugged surfaces and history-making impact. Scientists even used Canyon Diablo to help determine the true age of our planet. Holding a piece of it is like holding a fragment of cosmic history — a reminder of the incredible forces that have shaped both Earth and the universe.
