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