The Chinga Meteorite was found in the Chinga river
bed in Tanna Tuva, Turvinskaya, Russia in 1911 (north of present day Mongolia).
Chingas are a rare type of iron meteorite known as an ataxite. Ataxites
have a very high nickel content (Chingas contain16% nickel). This
high nickel content results in a lack of any visible Windmanstatten pattern,
and Chinga meteorites polish into a beautiful mirror like finish.
