A slice of native iron.   Native Iron Meteorwrong

Anne writes:
[Not a new Club Med destination but a] large island in Baffin Bay, off the western cost of Greenland.

Form Wikipedia:
A 22 ton lump of a mixture of iron and iron carbide (cohenite) has been found. There are only few places on earth where native iron can be found which is not of meteoric origin.
