Empuñadora del Tesoro de Villena

Scientists conducted a new analysis of the Treasure of Villena, a hoard of 59 gold-plated objects found in 1963, finding two objects featured meteoric iron.

Meteoric iron is an early-universe protoplanetary disk remnant found in meteorites made of iron and nickel.

‘Since they come from outer space, are composed of an iron-nickel alloy with a variable nickel composition greater than five percent by weight,’ researchers wrote.

‘They also contain other minor and trace chemical elements, cobalt being one of the most significant.’
