AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent rocky meteorite of the chondrite type in which we can appreciate fusion crust on most of its surface, with a beautiful shape and excellent size. It was found in the Sahara desert recently in 2026. It is an L-type chondrite, something that can be verified by its magnet attraction. It has a size and quality worthy of a great 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 as we know it today was formed. A genuine jewel of the universe in your hands. Spectacular!

We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material.
