AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent stony meteorite of the chondrite type, L-type, indicating it contains a medium percentage of iron in its composition. This well-sized specimen shows a well-defined fusion crust on a large portion of the surface, and an oriented shape that tells us it fell in a single position, so the meteorite molded into a spectacular form, something highly valued in collecting. It also presents several well-defined and very beautiful regmaglypts in various areas of its exterior. A piece for a great collection, with characteristics highly sought after by collectors.

Chondrites are the oldest materials in the Solar System, with an estimated formation age of 4,550 million years. A true jewel of the universe in your hands.

All our meteorites come with a certificate of authenticity. We are members of IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association), GMA and The Meteoritical Society, which guarantees the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with guarantees.

Best regards and our kindest wishes.
