Description from the seller
Meteorite type & CLASS / OFFICIAL NAME or NUMBER (Meteoritical Bulletin Database): Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite meteorite
FALL/FIND LOCATION: North West Africa Sahara Desert
WEIGHT: 242 g - 5 cm long
Ref: 30020
Observations: These meteorites were found in the Saharan Desert in Northwest Africa, likely by nomads. In order to classify them it would be necessary to cut off a section for analysis. Although they are exceedingly rare when compared to terrestrial rocks, these are the most abundant type of meteorite and are referred to as “common chondrites.” H and L (designating the amount of metal contained) type chondrites have been already extensively studied. Composed largely of spherical grain-like silicate chondrules, these stone meteorites were likely once part of the crust of a large asteroid.
This specimen has quite beautiful desert varnish. Very aesthetic individual.
Authenticity guaranteed by myself as CEO of Jurassic Dreams LLC (Galactic Dreams Department), Geologist Juan A. Poblador, as a member of the Global Meteorite Association (GMA 0043) and as member of the International Meteorite Collectors Association (IMCA 5681).
