Gibeon is a historic Iron meteorite from Namibia, officially classified as Iron, IVA. The Meteoritical Bulletin lists Gibeon as an official meteorite name from Namaland, Namibia, with a recorded mass of 26 tonnes. Formed over 4.5 billion years ago within the metallic core of an early differentiated asteroid, Gibeon represents ancient iron-nickel material that cooled slowly before its parent body was disrupted and fragments eventually reached Earth.
This specimen displays the classic metallic character of an Iron meteorite and is especially known for its fine Widmanstätten pattern when cut, polished, and etched. As an IVA Iron, Gibeon belongs to a distinct chemical group with a recognisable structure and strong collector appeal. Natural pieces may show darker weathered surfaces, while prepared sections reveal the intricate crystalline texture formed during extremely slow cooling in space.
For collectors, Gibeon is one of the most desirable and recognisable Iron meteorites due to its Namibian origin, IVA classification, historic importance, and strong visual appeal. It is widely used for display specimens, slices, inlays, and jewelry due to its stable structure and attractive etched pattern. Each piece offers a direct connection to ancient planetary core material and one of the most iconic Iron meteorites on the market.
