AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
Chondrite (H) meteorite of excellent quality (NWA XXX) XXL size, a special museum-grade piece, unique, with intact fusion crust.
Discovered in Mauritania in 2024, exhibiting notable aesthetic and preservation qualities.
This complete specimen weighs 1000 grams and stands out for the following features:
Beautiful, uniform black fusion crust, well preserved
Clear natural orientation, evidence of atmospheric flight
Numerous deep regmaglites (surface features with a fingerprint-like appearance)
Entire and intact specimen, no restoration
Soft desert patina that enhances surface relief
Meteorites from North Africa and the West (NWA) are highly sought after for their Saharan origin and scientific importance. Chondrites represent the most primitive material of the solar system, dating to about 4.56 billion years ago, offering a direct view of planetary formation.
This piece has excellent visual impact: its oriented shape and well-developed regmaglites make it a scientifically important specimen and an attractive display piece, ideal for serious collectors or as an investment.
