{"title":"Iron, IIIAB","description":"\u003cp\u003eIIIAB Iron meteorites are one of the most well-known and widely studied groups within Iron meteorite classification, representing material from the metallic cores of differentiated asteroids. Formed over 4.5 billion years ago, these meteorites crystallised slowly as molten metal cooled deep within their parent bodies. The ‘IIIAB’ designation reflects their specific nickel content and trace element chemistry, which places them within a broad and continuous group of related Iron meteorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIIIAB Irons are composed primarily of iron-nickel metal and are especially noted for their well-developed Widmanstätten patterns when cut and etched. These interlocking crystal structures formed during extremely slow cooling over millions of years, producing a wide range of pattern sizes and styles depending on the exact composition. This variation gives IIIAB meteorites a diverse visual appeal, from fine, delicate structures to larger, more pronounced crystalline patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying IIIAB Iron meteorites provides important insight into the cooling history and internal structure of asteroid cores. Their wide range of compositions allows scientists to better understand how metallic cores crystallised and evolved over time. For collectors, IIIAB Irons are highly desirable due to their availability, variety, and classic appearance. Each specimen represents a clear and often visually striking example of ancient core material from the early solar system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"henbury-iron-iiiab-7-87g","title":"Henbury - Iron, IIIAB - Complete Individual - 7.87g - Australia (Northern Territory)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"513\"\u003eHenbury is a classic Australian Iron meteorite from the Northern Territory, directly associated with the Henbury crater field near Henbury Station.
