ORIENTED chondrite meteorite (4.5 billion years) (Found: Sáhara

Magnificent stony meteorite of the chondrite type, L-type, indicating it contains a medium percentage of iron in its composition. This well-sized specimen shows a well-defined fusion crust on a large portion of the surface, and an oriented shape that tells us it fell in a single position, so the meteorite molded into a spectacular form, something highly valued in collecting. It also presents several well-defined and very beautiful regmaglypts in various areas of its exterior. A piece for a great collection, with characteristics highly sought after by collectors. Chondrites are the oldest materials in the Solar System, with an estimated formation age of 4,550 million years. A true jewel of the universe in your hands.
