Nagjir 001 - meteorite carbonaceous chondrite (CV3) - 5 g

First meteorite in the world classified from NAGJIR. Carbonaceous CV3, with CAI.
River of Gold, Western Sahara.

Beautiful piece of carbonaceous chondrite in which you can see the chondrules, the original cortex of the meteorite, and CAI.
Carbonaceous chondrites contain amino acids and water in their composition, making them perhaps the most scientifically astonishing meteorites we can hold in our hands, since recent studies indicate that it is they, with their amino acids and high carbon content, that seeded life on Earth.

The CAL (Calcium-Aluminum) substances are the oldest in the solar system.
They are very rare, accounting for only 4.8% of the meteorites found, so they are therefore rarely put up for sale.
Chondrites are the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated formation age of 4.55 billion years.
The characteristic of chondrites is the presence of chondrules, small spheres measuring millimeters, composed mostly of silicates.
The standard model of their initial formation is that they occur during the condensation of the solar nebula, from cosmic dust.
Chondrites are considered the first elements from which planets form.
