CV3, CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITE METEORITE (Sahara

Spectacular meteorite of the Carbonaceous Chondrite type CV3, in which we can observe numerous chondrules on its surface, representing the oldest material in the solar system, with an estimated age of 4,567 million years. It was recently found in late 2024 in the Sahara Desert. It is a specimen with a size and quality worthy of a good collection of samples. CV3 chondrites are famous for their CAIs (Calcium- and Aluminum-rich Inclusions), generally the oldest materials in the solar system since they were the first materials to solidify in the solar nebula, and therefore among the oldest materials ever described and found. CV3 chondrites like this are rich in amino acids and water, and thus they are considered one of the fundamental pillars supporting the theory that seeds of life could have arrived on Earth with this type of meteorites. All of our meteorites come with a certificate from IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association), GMA (Global Meteorite Association) and The Meteoritical Society, which guarantees the authenticity of all our meteorites for life. Buy with guarantees. Best regards and our warmest wishes. CRATER METEORITES
