AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
Chondrite meteorite (H) of excellent quality (NWA XXX) XXL size, a special museum piece, unique, fusion crust intact.
Discovered in Mauritania in 2024, displaying notable aesthetic qualities and preservation.
This complete specimen weighs 1000 grams and stands out for the following features:
Beautiful and homogeneous black fusion crust, well preserved
Clear natural orientation, evidence of its atmospheric flight
Numerous deep regmaglits (surface indentations with fingerprint-like appearance)
Whole and intact specimen, no restoration
Soft desert patina that enhances surface relief
Northwest and West African meteorites (NWA) are highly sought after for their Saharan origin and scientific importance. Chondrites represent the most primitive material of the solar system, 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 regmaglits make it scientifically important and an attractive display specimen, ideal for serious collectors or for investment.
