Condrita Carbonácea CO3 meteorite from Tindouf, Algeria, weighing 60 g.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Nice specimen of a carbonaceous chondrite in which you can see the meteorite's original crust.
Carbonaceous chondrites contain amino acids and water in their composition, perhaps the most astonishing meteorites from a scientific standpoint that we can hold in our hands, since the latest studies point to them as the ones that seeded, with their amino acids and high carbon content, life on Earth.
They are very rare, accounting for only about 4.8% of meteorites found, so they rarely come up for sale.
Chondrites are the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated formation age of 4.550 billion years.
The characteristic feature of chondrites is the presence of chondrules, small, millimeter-sized spheres composed largely of silicates.
The standard model for their initial formation is that they form during the condensation of the solar nebula from cosmic dust.
Chondrites are considered the earliest building blocks from which planets are formed.
Display box included.

Seller's Story
We search for pieces of the cosmos
to put the universe in your hands.
At Expometeoritos we are dedicated to visiting the most inhospitable corners of the planet in search of meteorites and all those elements (Impactites, Suevites, Tektites, etc.) that attest to what the universe around us is like and how it works.
We are adventurous, curious and restless by nature and thanks to this project we can bring the secrets of the cosmos closer to all of you in a different way.
We organize informative talks, exhibitions, we analyze and classify, cut and polish meteorites and, in addition, we offer you the best pieces so that you can get hold of them and have a piece of the universe in your own home.
Our commitment is complete and we want you to have all the guarantees and confidence, that is why all our pieces are certified and an analysis of their chemical composition is also included if the value of the piece exceeds €300. The analysis is carried out in our facilities by X-ray spectrography.
The pieces will be sent by express service UPS 24/48 hours
