Mesosiderite meteorite. MDEÏNÉ 001 (Mauritania, 2021). Stony iron meteorite - XL - 105.6 g

In this lot, we are auctioning a beautiful piece of meteorite of the Mesosiderite type, recently classified under the name Mdeïné 001. Although it is a meteorite from northwest Africa, it has a proper name because the exact coordinates where it was found are known, and it is also the first to be classified from that location, hence the name '001', which is rare and valued by collectors.

Mesosiderites are metallic-rocky meteorites like pallasites, but unlike them, their origin is different: they are the result of a collision between two bodies of different nature in space (one rocky and the other metallic).

The piece we are auctioning has an ideal size and quality for a great collection or museum, as well as a very beautiful and balanced natural form.

We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material for life. Buy with confidence.
