AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
H chondrite meteorite of excellent quality (NWA XXX) XXL size, a special museum piece, unique, intact fusion crust.
Discovered in Mauritania in 2024, displaying notable aesthetic and preservation qualities.
This complete specimen weighs 405 grams and stands out for the following features:
• Beautiful, homogeneous black fusion crust, well preserved
• Clear natural orientation, evidence of its atmospheric flight
• Numerous deep regmaglpts (surface indentations with fingerprint-like markings)
• Entire and intact specimen, no restoration
• Soft desert patina that enhances surface relief
Northwestern Africa and West Africa (NWA) meteorites are highly sought after for their Saharan origin and scientific importance. Chondrites represent the most primitive material in the solar system, roughly 4.56 billion years old, offering a direct view of planetary formation.
This piece has excellent visual impact: its oriented shape and well-developed regmaglitos make it scientifically important and an attractive display piece, ideal for serious collectors or as an investment.
