CK炭素質コンドリット隕石。 素晴らしい完成品です。 - 98.3 g

Ordinary chondrites, which are far less common than their ordinary sister chondrites, carbonaceous chondrites represent 5% of meteorites that reach Earth. They are characterized by the presence of carbon in their composition—hence their name—usually in the form of organic compounds such as amino acids. In addition, carbonaceous chondrites typically contain water or minerals that indicate they have been altered by its presence. Dark, usually abundant matrix, they are the oldest meteorites known and therefore the oldest material you could ever hold in your hands.

CK meteorites are carbonaceous chondrites with a gray-dark matrix, sometimes slightly greenish, with abundant chondrules that can range from type 3 to 6, with an average diameter of 1 mm, i.e., somewhat smaller than CV and larger than CO (the carbonaceous family with which they are related). They sometimes contain sizeable CAIs. Additionally, some CK members display shock veins that indicate a violent history for their parent body or a history of impact.

Furthermore, the specimen of this batch has a beautiful shape and size, with numerous embossed chondrules on the exterior, something difficult to find in this type of carbonaceous chondrites. Ideal for a great collection or museum.

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

Best regards and our warmest wishes.
