Description from the seller
Hi, my name is Adrian. I am a meteorite hunter and a member of the Polish Meteorite Society.
For many years I have been fascinated by space and extraterrestrial matter. My interests in astrophysics, geography, and travel have evolved into a passion for finding meteorites. I am especially interested in stony meteorites and the history of their discovery.
Today I would like to offer you one of my own finds – the Pułtusk meteorite.
Pułtusk is one of the best-known Polish meteorites and at the same time one of the most famous meteor showers in history. Its fall occurred on January 30, 1868, in the Pułtusk area in Poland. During this remarkable event thousands of meteorite fragments rained down to the Earth's surface, forming a vast dispersion field.
The specimen offered here was found by me in 2026 during my own field searches.
The meteorite weighs 145.22 g and has preserved a beautiful natural fusion crust, a remnant of its passage through the atmosphere. The specimen has been lightly cleaned only to remove dirt and reveal its natural surface, without altering its structure.
To me this specimen is more than just another fragment of a meteorite. Behind its discovery lie hours spent in the field, searches, terrain analysis, and above all a passion for discovering matter that arrived to us from space.
I hope that it will go to a collector who will appreciate both its scientific and historical value, as well as the story of its discovery, and will give it proper care.
