Angrites are a very small and rare group of achondrite-type meteorites. Their main characteristic, which makes them so special, is that they are among the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System, with crystallization ages of around 4.55 billion years. Angrites are named after the meteorite Angra dos Reis, which fell in Brazil in 1869.

They are a rare group of achondrites mainly composed of augite, with some olivine, anorthite, and troilite. They are basaltic rocks, often porous, with vesicles reaching up to 2.5 cm in diameter.

This specimen is officially classified as Rafsa 007 and was found in Algeria in 2023. Despite being a meteorite from Northwest Africa, it bears a proper name based on the exact coordinates of the location where it was found, which is uncommon among Saharan meteorites. Only a few grams of this meteorite exist worldwide, making this specimen one of the few available for sale.

Angrites are extremely rare meteorites and are highly valued by collectors as well as the scientific community. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire a museum-quality specimen of exceptional size and quality.
