AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Wabar Craters were discovered in 1932 in the desert of Saudi Arabia. The largest crater has a diameter of 100 m, a depth of 12 m, partially filled with sand, and it is thought to be the main crater where the impact occurred with ejected material from the surface. A crater located 1 km to the northwest is about half the size of the main crater, and it is thought that they are two partially overlapping craters. Two others in the area are completely filled with sand. Fused silica glass and tiny nickel-iron globules were found near the main crater.

The meteorite is a highly oxidized metallic IIIAB that gives it a pinecone-like appearance, weighing 7.232 grams and measuring 28x16x7 mm. They are now extremely rare and impossible to find with dimensions larger than 5 cm.
