Unlock a piece of the cosmos with this authentic Northwest Africa (NWA) meteorite, weighing in at 4.2 grams and measuring approximately ¾" x ½" x ½". Sourced from the Sahara Desert, this specimen is part of the NWA classification — a broad group of meteorites recovered from the arid stretches of North Africa, known for their incredible preservation and fascinating mineral compositions.
The meteorite exhibits a rugged, naturally weathered exterior with visible iron inclusions and a dark fusion crust typical of iron-rich chondrites. It’s believed to be from an ancient asteroid that journeyed through space for millions — possibly billions — of years before colliding with Earth.
Fun Fact:
Most NWA meteorites fell to Earth thousands of years ago and were preserved thanks to the Sahara's dry climate. These meteorites are unclassified but often originate from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and occasionally even from the Moon or Mars.
This makes a perfect gift for:
Rock and mineral collectors
Astronomy lovers
Teachers, students, and science nerds
Anyone who wants to own a piece of outer space
