A video showing the Udei Station Iron Meteorite.

This is a iron meteorite with silicate inclusions (crystals found inside the meteorite). The silicate inclusions are the darker, rougher sections that you can see. The meteorite was witnessed falling to the Earth in 1927. This sample has been sliced open to allow you to see the inclusions inside.
