AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent rocky meteorite of the chondrite type, in which we can appreciate a well-defined fusion crust, both primary and secondary across much of the surface. In one area you can see numerous metallic iron and nickel inclusions in the form of small shiny spots. It was recently found in the Sahara Desert in 2026, and it is a H-type chondrite, that is, with high amounts of iron in its composition, something that can be verified by its strong attraction to a magnet. It has a size and quality worthy of a good collection.
Chondrites are the oldest materials in the solar system with an estimated formation age of 4,550 million years. Each chondrule represents a particle of solid matter that formed the presolar cloud from which the Solar System formed as we know it today. A true jewel of the universe in your hands. Spectacular!
We are members of the main international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material.
