Description Elbogen meteorite etched slice. This historic IID med octahedrite iron was preserved in a castle in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, and dates back to ~1400 AD. During it's storied history, attempts were made to melt the mass in a primitive blast furnace and it also survived a 34 year stint at the bottom of a well between 1742 and 1776. Interestingly, the first use of the term Widmanstatten figure in a scientific publication was by Schreibers who published a print of the Elbogen iron made by Alois Beck von Widmanstatten himself! This specimen weighs 8.9 grams and was expertly prepared by R. Kempton of the NEMS.
