Hi Bernd and all,
Another example is the China Iron (that tends to rust) name fails me
right now but lots of material has been sold in the past. They were
putting those in acid and letting them eat the outsides off then
selling them as smaller pieces after treatment. Those were highly
crystalized showing the widmanstatton (sorry Kevin) pattern, and I saw
lots of flats of those in the past from our China friends.

Quoting "Bernd V. Pauli" <[email protected]>:
Jason Snyder inquired:
"I am curious if anyone has ever observed an iron
meteorite with a widmanstatten pattern on the outside"
Hello All,
Another famous example are so-called Gibeon octahedron crystals.
For more info on these crystals, see here:
The Gibeon Iron Meteorite in Perfect Crystals
by Roland Dietrich & Stefan König in:
Meteorite! February 1997, pp. 28-29.
I have an 8-gram, tumbled octahedron Gibeon crystal in my collection
and its Widmanstätten pattern is easily recognizable on the outside!
Best wishes,
Bernd
