AGOUDAL Iron IIAB meteorite, found in Morocco - Height: 26 mm - Width: 46 mm - 50.1 g

AGOUDAL Iron IIAB meteorite , found in Morocco. It's pretty unusual for a new iron meteorite to come along in 2012 known also by the provisoral name of IMILCHIL, it was classified as a IIAB iron. The vast majority of Agoudal pieces are very smal (10 to 20 grams) and so slices are also almost never seen as well. Individuals display a beautiful natural patina and, when cleaned, some reveal orientation and flow lines with tiny regmaglyphs. The vast majority of recovered pieces are far too small to cut in the laboratory, but a single, unusually large mass produced remarkable sliced specimens with a rare concurrence called recrystallization as the consequence of, what is believed to be a secondary asteroidal collision that reheated the material. An interesting desert iron with attractive shapes and rich natural patina. NO RESERVE PRICE ! Please note: sorry, no shipping to Asia, Africa, South America, Russia, Turkey and Switzerland
