Vom Verkäufer bereitgestellte Beschreibung
El Menia – 2 pieces of 1.2 g each – fresh 2023 fall with fusion crust and visible internal structure
Offered here is an especially attractive set of two El Menia meteorite specimens, each weighing 1.2 g, for a total weight of 2.4 g.
Both pieces show exactly the qualities that make El Menia especially appealing to collectors: a fresh, dark fusion crust combined with a visible look into the internal structure. It is precisely this combination that gives the set its special character. It shows not only the original outer surface formed during atmospheric entry under extreme heat, but also the authentic extraterrestrial interior of the meteorite itself.
El Menia is a confirmed fall from Algeria dated March 11, 2023, officially classified as an ordinary chondrite of type L5. That background is exactly what makes this material so attractive: it is not an old desert find, but a young, documented fall, and pieces from such falls often preserve a fresher and more authentic appearance.
The classification L5 means that El Menia belongs to the ordinary chondrites, the important group of meteorites that represent original material from the early Solar System. The “L” indicates a relatively low metal content within the ordinary chondrites, while the petrologic grade 5 shows that the rock was already significantly thermally altered on its parent body. It is therefore a genuine, classified stony meteorite with clear scientific significance.
What makes this offer especially appealing is the pairing of two matching individual specimens. Each piece, at 1.2 g, has a very attractive collector size, and together they form a set that is both visually and scientifically rewarding. Rather than showing only a single fragment, this offering allows a direct comparison of two pieces from the same fall — both with fresh crust and visible interior.
This is exactly what makes the set so desirable:
2 pieces from a confirmed fresh fall
1.2 g each
2.4 g total weight
fresh fusion crust
visible internal structure
scientifically interesting L5 chondrite
very attractive collector and display set
Such a set is ideal as:
a high-quality collector’s item
an attractive display piece
an especially appealing introduction to the world of fresh meteorite falls
an interesting addition to a collection of classified chondrites
With its combination of fresh fall status, official classification, preserved fusion crust, and visible interior, this set offers a quality that goes far beyond ordinary small fragments. It combines scientific relevance with very appealing presentation, and that is exactly what makes it especially interesting to collectors.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire two exceptionally high-quality specimens together in this level of preservation and quality. It is precisely in carefully selected examples that one sees how rarely aesthetic form, fresh surface character, and convincing overall quality come together so harmoniously in a single offering.
As a member of the International Meteorite Collectors Association (IMCA #7379) and the Global Meteorite Association (GMA #G0117), I guarantee the authenticity of every meteorite I offer. Each specimen is delivered with a certificate – for an authentic, secure, and certified purchase.
Thank you and good luck!
