Amgala 001 オリビン相を有するシャーグリット質火星隕石 - Height: 15 mm - Width: 5 mm - 0.18 g

A Martian meteorite named Amgala 001, with a very beautiful basaltic composition and structure, specifically the material of Mars itself. Its a beautiful part slice meteorite from Mars. 0.18 g, in collector's box, with COA. Find: 2022, Western Sahara TKW: 34.67 kg Class: Martian olivine-phyric shergottite. History: Multiple stones were found together in December 2022 near Meharrize. Said Muftah Bachir and Ziyao Wang bought 12 kg together from the finders, including the largest 5200 g individual; Mark Lyon acquired 19165 g from two different dealers; Aziz Habibi obtained 3500 g from another dealer. Physical characteristics: Weathered exterior surfaces of the stones are brown with a distinctive knobby appearance. Fresh interiors are greenish-gray with darker olivine phenocrysts visible. Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS, and P. Carpenter, WUSL) Zoned olivine phenocrysts (up to 2 mm in length) are set in a groundmass with variable grainsize composed predominantly of prismatic, zoned clinopyroxene and lath-like maskelynite, together with accessory alkali feldspar, pyrrhotite, ulvöspinel, chromite (with variable Ti content), ilmenite, baddeleyite and chlorapatite. Thin opaque shock veins crosscut the specimen as well as secondary calcite veinlets. Olivine phenocrysts contain small patches of alteration products (red-brown in thin section). Shipping is available with Fedex international service. This has been the cheapest shipping fee from Hungary since May. However, compared to the 8-15 day delivery time of Hungarian Post, Fedex delivers within 1-3 business days within Europe. The package is shipped the day after the auction.
