Taza Iron Core

The Taza Iron Core meteorite is a prime example of a coarse octahedrite from the Taza region in Morocco. Composed predominantly of iron and nickel, it showcases deep thumbprint-like regmaglypts formed by atmospheric ablation. Its dark, polished surface offers a mirror-like reflection under light, while its internal crystalline structure—visible when cut—can display the famous Widmanstätten patterns. These features form only after millions of years of slow cooling within a planetary core. This particular specimen likely comes from the shattered core of a large asteroid. The weight, density, and metallic resonance make it a showpiece for museums and collectors. Found by trained researchers with proper documentation, this piece guarantees authenticity. Taza meteorites are known for their accessibility and excellent preservation, often used in educational contexts to demonstrate space geology.
