AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In this lot, we are auctioning a spectacular square-shaped cut, of good size, of a meteorite of the Mesosiderite type officially classified under the name TANEZROUFT 091 (TNZ 091), in which we can see the metal and rock intertwined, especially noticeable in the photos where the polished surface reflects light.

Mesosiderites are metallic-rocky meteorites like pallasites, but unlike them, their origin is different: they are the result of a collision between two bodies of different nature in space (one rocky and the other metallic).

The piece we are auctioning has ideal size and quality for a great collection or jewelry making. Cut with diamond thread, we achieve a large surface with low weight. We strive to offer the best slices on the market. A fantastic specimen to add to your collection. Don't miss this opportunity!

All our meteorites come with an IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association) certificate, ensuring the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with confidence.

Greetings and our best wishes.
