Metaphysical Properties

Sikhote Alin Meteorites are said to carry "monk" energy. Nickle-Iron meteorites are both grounding and activating. These Nickle-Iron cosmic crystals provide a balance that aids by anchoring and activating inner visions as well as spiritual awakenings. The extra terrestrial nature of meteorite energies also work exceptionally well with Moldavite tektites.

About Sikhote-Alin Meteorites

Sikhote-Alin is classified as an Iron, IIAB-MG meteorite. At approximately 10:30am on February 12th 1947 eyewitnesses saw a bright flash and the deafening sound near the Sikhote-Alin Mountains. The large Bolide (extremely bright meteor) impacted in an area of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, Primorye, Soviet Union. In 1957 the Soviet Union issued a stamp to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite shower. The strewn field for this meteorite covered an elliptical area of about half of a square mile.

There are basically two types of Sikhote-Alin meteorites found.

1. Thumbprinted or Regmaglypted pieces, showing fusion crust and signs of atmospheric ablation (melting & flow lines).
2. Shrapnel like or fragmented pieces with sharp edges that were torn apart during the atmospheric explosions or blasted apart upon impact.

Millions of years old, scientists believe that Nickel Iron meteorites were once part of the molten cores of ancient planets and planetary bodies.
