Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of a meteorite-iron sword, as seen under a microscope. It's like wandering through a gallery of paintings of star clusters. The forging of meteorite-iron swords dates back many centuries, to a time when smelting techniques for extracting metal from iron ore were not sufficiently developed, and meteorites were the only usable source of iron.
