Wolfe Creek is a historic Iron meteorite from Western Australia, classified as Iron, IIIAB. It is associated with the Wolfe Creek crater, one of Australia’s best-known impact structures, formed when a large Iron meteorite struck the desert surface. This specimen represents ancient iron-nickel material that formed over 4.5 billion years ago within the metallic core of an early differentiated asteroid, before being delivered to Earth through a major impact event.
Wolfe Creek material is typically dense, metallic, and naturally weathered from long exposure in the Australian environment. Natural pieces may show dark brown to reddish oxidised surfaces, while cut and etched specimens can reveal the Widmanstätten patterns associated with IIIAB Iron meteorites. Each specimen carries the character of its preservation history, from rugged exterior texture to prepared metallic structure.
For collectors, Wolfe Creek is especially desirable due to its Australian provenance, recognised IIIAB classification, and direct connection to a major crater locality. It is a strong choice for anyone interested in Iron meteorites, impact sites, and historically significant meteorite material. Each piece offers a tangible link to both ancient planetary core material and one of Earth’s notable impact events.
