Description from the seller
Chondrite Meteorite - High Quality - Regmaglypts & Desert Patina - 46g
Offered is a beautiful stone meteorite, an ordinary chondrite (L/H type), found in the arid regions of the Western Sahara. This specimen features a well-preserved dark chocolate-brown fusion crust and desert patina, typical for Saharan finds.
The surface displays distinct regmaglypts (thumbprint-like indentations) caused by atmospheric ablation during its fiery descent to Earth. Several contraction cracks reveal a glimpse of the lighter interior matrix. As shown in the photos, the specimen has a strong magnetic response, indicating a significant content of nickel-iron grains.
This is a classic "space rock" that would make a perfect addition to any mineral or meteorite collection.
Type: Ordinary Chondrite (unclassified)
Origin: Western Sahara
Condition: Natural, as found
Magnetism: Strong
