This is a super little boxed set of fragments from the classic meteorite fall - ALLENDE
The Allende meteorite is the largest Carbonaceous Chondrite ever found on Earth. The fireball was witnessed at 1:05 a.m. on Febraury 8th, 1069, falling over the Mexican of Chihuaha.
There are 3 specimens weighing a total of 7 milligrams ( measuring 1-2mm across)
boxed in a protective padded gem jar.
These are only small fragments but are VERY rare, genuine and guaranteed with a signed certificate of authenticity
The samples come from a research environment and have never been handled with bare hands at any point since they were found.
It is often described as "the best-studied meteorite in history," largely due to the fact that the massive, primitive meteorite fell at a time when the field of planetary science was growing and developing instrumentation for the return of moon rocks by the Apollo program
The Allende meteorite is notable for possessing abundant, large Calcium Aluminium Rich Inclusions, which are among the oldest objects formed in the Solar System
