Magnificent specimen allowing you to admire its beautiful Widmanstätten figures (also called Thomson structures), evidence of recrystallization occurring in steel above 1,000°C!
The Aletai meteorite holds the record for the largest known scattering field to date, extending approximately 425 km from China to Mongolia.Publication No. 105 The Meteoritical Bulletin of September 19, 2017 identifies 5 names and synonyms of meteorites whose official name has since been Aletai (Armanty, Akebulake, Wuxilike, Ulasitai, Xinjiang).
In July 2023, 17 meteorites are classified as IIIE and only 2 as IIIE-an.IIIE-an are meteorites belonging to group IIIE but presenting abnormal properties which make them scientific curiosities!
Aletai indeed contains the largest amount of gold of any specimen in this group, as well as considerable amounts of schreibersite.
Schreibersite is an iron phosphide in which the iron is partially replaced by nickel. Phosphorus plays a crucial role for all living beings, notably via the molecule Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which provides the energy necessary for the chemical reactions of metabolism.Phosphates exist on Earth, but are too unreactive to fuel the reactions of probiotic chemistry! To date, only the massive contribution from space can explain this phenomenon.

For the little story : 17 meteorites are classified IIIE in July 2023 and only 2 in IIIE-an.
IIIE-an are meteorites belonging to group IIIE but exhibiting anomalous properties. Indeed, it contains the largest amount of gold of any specimen in the group, as well as considerable amounts of schreibersite, a rare phosphate mineral (which gives the Aletai samples their characteristic lustrous finish) first brought to our planet by meteorites billions of years ago, and thought to be the source of the reactive phosphorus that created the conditions necessary for early life on Earth.
