AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Agoudal Meteorite and Moroccan Fulgurites – Set of 4, natural specimens.
Description
Fulgurites are natural formations that can form when lightning strikes silica-rich soil. The intense heat partially melts the material, which then solidifies into structures that are sometimes tubular.
The Agoudal meteorite is an iron meteorite discovered in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Composed mainly of iron and nickel, it is distinguished by its metallic structure and fascinating history. Billions of years old, it is an authentic fragment of a primordial asteroid and a witness to the birth of our solar system.
These specimens have elongated, irregular shapes, rough, grainy surfaces, and natural shades of brown, ochre, and rust. The broken ends reveal lighter areas that contrast with the outer surfaces.
Each piece has its own shape, making this set especially appealing to mineral collectors, geology enthusiasts, and lovers of natural curiosities.
This set offers an original display of formations attributed to the effects of lightning striking sandy soil.

* Number of pieces: 4
* Total weight: 190 g

Seller's Story
We have been meteorite hunters for a long time. Passionate about these objects which are pieces of interplanetary space, we are delighted to be able to offer, through our collections, exceptional pieces, which everyone can obtain to have a part of the sky in the palm of their hand.
Have you ever observed the Milky Way? Have you ever observed a shooting star? Have you ever wondered where this one fell? In any case, we do and were even able to collect some by hand to send them directly to your home.
Each of our meteorites is unique and carefully selected before sale, cleaned, often treated, sometimes sliced and sometimes polished using specific equipment.
Based in France, we provide meteorites from many different countries across the planet. These objects have traveled staggering distances to end up on our shelves and perhaps even in your home.
We provide certificates of authenticity for each piece.
We make it a point of honor to offer quality batches, sent carefully and quickly across Europe with a tracking number.
