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

Magnificent L-type chondritic rocky meteorite, indicating an average iron content in its composition. In this piece we can see its shield-shaped orientation, which suggests that the fall occurred in the same position, so the meteorite was molded that way—something highly prized by collectors. An ideal piece for a large collection of samples. Chondrites are among the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated formation age of about 4.55 billion years. A genuine jewel of the universe in your hands. All of our meteorites come with a certificate of authenticity.
