Plateau Putorana is a rare native iron from the Siberian region of Russia. It was first thought to be a meteorite because of it's plentiful amounts of free unoxidized iron. It has metal veins, blobs, and flecks, just like a mesosiderite meteorite. Lab analysis confirmed it was terrestrial, but it remains a sought-after locality by mineral and meteorite collectors. It is one of the world's finest examples of a "meteorwrong".
This specimen is a polished slice that shows a single region of iron on one side. It weighs approx. 32 grams. Most of this slice is silicate, so I have priced it cheaper than the others which showed more metal.
