Metaphysical Properties

Sikhote Alin Meteorites are said to have "masculine" monk energy, with a blend of grounding and activating energies rooted in their ancient cosmic origin and nickel-iron crystal structure. They assist in balancing and activating inner visions while supporting spiritual growth. The extra terrestrial nature of meteorite energies also work exceptionally well when paired 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.

Nickel-iron meteorites, once the molten cores of planets and planetary bodies, are estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old. Their metal crystallized over millions of years through as a result of an exceptionally slow cooling process, about 1 degree Celsius every 10,000 years. This creates a beautiful crystalline formation within the meteorite. One of the most interesting features of these meteorites is the Widmanstätten pattern, a unique geometric structure formed by interlocking bands of nickel-iron minerals kamacite and taenite.
