AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent condrite-type meteorite, possibly of H type, due to the high magnetic attraction it exhibits, caused by the large amount of iron in its composition. We can observe a well-defined primary fusion crust, partially covered with caliche, dark in color, covering more than 50% of the surface. It has a nicely oriented shape, which indicates the way the meteorite traveled through the Earth's atmosphere as it fell to the ground. It was found in the Sahara Desert in 2017.

Chondrites are the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated formation age of 4.55 billion years. Each chondrule represents a particle of solid matter that formed the presolar cloud, from which the Solar System as we know it today gradually formed. A true gem of the universe in your hands. Spectacular!

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