AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am selling a genuine 560-gram meteorite, an ordinary chondrite (OC) of NWA type, discovered in the Sahara Desert in 2025.

This piece is particularly interesting for collectors because it features:

- A magnificent black, textured fusion crust on most of its surface, evidence of its spectacular entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

- Well-visible regmaglypts (cup-shaped impressions reminiscent of thumbprints) on the dark side.
