LL3.1 Condrite meteorite from Western Sahara, type NWA 13567, origin Morocco, weight 20 g.
Description from the seller
Nice specimen of a stony meteorite, LL3.1 chondrite type, with a good shape.
We can observe its interior, the original crust, and the fantastic chondrules.
LL3 chondrites are the most prized by collectors due to the beauty of the chondrules and the scarcity of material of this type; there are fewer than 2 kg classified in the world.
It comes with the display case.
Chondrites are among the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated formation age of 4.550 billion years. They are undifferentiated meteorites, which is why they contain iron, in this case in small amounts since it is LL type.
Most of them originate from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
A characteristic 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 among the earliest elements from which planets form.
At Expometeoritos, we handle outreach, talks, workshops, analyses, classification, and exhibitions of meteorites.
We are members of:
- IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association) #8187
- Meteoritical Society
- American Meteor Society
All our pieces are certified and in addition, we provide the chemical composition analysis if the piece value exceeds €300, performed at our facilities by X-ray Spectroscopy.
