AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fragment of a metallic meteorite, ataxite, Gebel Kamil, 4.12 grams, set on a branch of gold-colored metal and mounted on a modern 18K gold-plated cord-style chain.
It is a meteorite that fell in Egypt during the Holocene (about 5,000 years ago). In the impact it created one of the best-preserved young craters, Gebel Kamil. The bolide was traveling at high velocity at the moment of impact with the desert sandstone rock.
It is classified as a metallic meteorite, specifically an ungrouped ataxite with a high nickel content. It lacks the classic Widmanstätten structures due to its type. Its main minerals are kamacite and schreibersite.
A time traveler turned into a jewel. Feel the power of the universe on your skin.
A unique jewel certified by one of the best meteorite experts, "Cráter Meteoritos". It ships with a certificate.
Customs duties outside the EU will be borne by the auction winner.
Seller's Story
Thousands of years ago, in the ancient cities of Greece, the AGORA was the heart of the community. It was not just a market; it was the place where people gathered to share ideas, discover the world, and marvel at knowledge.
Today, that spirit is reborn, but on a much larger scale. Welcome to AGORA.
Our story doesn't begin decades ago, but billions of years ago. It begins in the vacuum of space, where the violent birth of a star forged the METEORITES that you can touch with your own hands today. It continues beneath the Earth's crust, where the patience of the Earth combined heat, pressure, and time to sculpt the perfect geometry of the MINERALS. And finally, it meets us through ARCHAEOLOGY: the fragments of vases, tools, and coins that our ancestors left behind as clues to who we are.
At AGORA we believe that the most valuable objects are not those that shine on the outside, but those that have a story to tell. We are not just a store; we are a meeting point between the cosmos, the Earth, and humanity.
Each piece in our display cases is an authentic fragment of eternity. A witness of the Big Bang, a secret buried for millennia, or a relic of a lost civilization. Entering here is the beginning of a journey through time. We invite you to discover your own fragment of history.
