Henbury

Iron, IIIAB
Found in Australia, 1931

The Henbury iron meteorite was discovered in 1931 and is associated with fifteen impact craters in central Australia. Henbury irons display an attractive desert patina — a reddish-crimson color slowly acquired over hundreds of years. The Henbury crater field is now a protected area and collecting is prohibited. As a result Henburys have all but disappeared from the marketplace. We filmed an episode of our TV series “Meteorite Men” at Henbury in 2010.
