Hickman is an Iron meteorite from Western Australia, found in June 2018 near the Hickman crater area. It was discovered by a gold prospector around 2.5 km southeast of Hickman crater and later entered the collector market after being taken to the Tucson Gem and Mineral show. Hickman is officially classified as an Iron meteorite of the IAB complex, placing it within a chemically diverse group of Iron meteorites known for complex formation histories involving metal, impact processing, and incomplete parent-body differentiation.

Hickman specimens are composed primarily of iron-nickel metal and may show the dense metallic character typical of Iron meteorites. As an IAB complex Iron, prepared pieces can reveal structural features when cut, polished, and etched, while natural specimens may retain weathered exterior surfaces from their time in the Australian environment. Its proximity to Hickman crater adds geographic interest, although the meteorite itself should be presented according to its official IAB complex classification rather than assumed crater association.

Studying Hickman provides insight into the IAB complex and the varied histories of metallic meteorites from early solar system parent bodies. Its recent recognition, Western Australian provenance, and official classification make it especially interesting for collectors of Iron meteorites and Australian finds. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid metal preserved in metallic form for over 4.5 billion years.
