Collector notes
The Nantan meteorite is a famous iron-nickel space rock, a coarse octahedrite (IAB-MG group), and is heavily weathered with a distinct bronze-to-black patina and magnetic properties. Local historical records link its massive shower of debris to a fiery explosion witnessed in Guangxi, China, in May 1516, though the fragments were officially gathered later.
