IAB meteorites are a major group of iron meteorites (primarily kamacite and taenite) with silicate inclusions that classify them as primitive achondrites. They typically show beautiful Widmanstätten patterns in octahedrite structures and date back ~4.3–4.6 billion years, preserving early Solar System material from a partially differentiated asteroid parent body.

Expert-tested by Dr. Laurence A. J. Garvie and Dr. Marek Zbik, these octahedrite specimens with clear Widmanstätten patterning are ~4.3 billion years old.
