About the Item
These extraterrestrial stars form our ever-evolving solar system dating 4,500,000,000 [four billion five hundred million] years, with less than 0.01% of 50,000+ terrestrial impacts occurring each year on the planets we know of, some of which burn upon entering earth's upper atmosphere, many of which fall into our oceans. Once part of a more substantial meteor body orbiting asteroids or asteroid belts in our solar system. In rare events, these stars fall to planetary objects, in this case, earth - entering our stratosphere and impacting the Western Saharan Desert. Exhibiting shallow regmaglypts on the surface, [indentations] created by ablation while falling through the atmosphere, and occasionally consist of fractures caused by terrestrial impact. Chondrite meteorites, like the NWA [H5] meteorite, contain chondrules, microscopic spheres that are believed to be the building blocks of our planetary systems. This scientific significance, along with the approximately 20% iron and nickel found within, offers a unique opportunity to understand the history of our planetary system, which has evolved over 4,500,000,000 years.

24 x 20 cm, 28 cm tall on base
7.1 kg
A sculptural and beautifully weathered chondrite meteorite; upon entering the atmosphere, this extraterrestrial stone would have heated the surrounding air to a temperature of over 1700 C, higher than that of the hottest lava on the planet, and enough to melt away its outer layers, leaving its surface rippled with regmaglypts, thumb-shaped impressions formed as superheated rock streaked off of the main body as it careened toward the earth. The last layer of the rock to melt would have re-solidified as the meteorite made impact, forming a charcoal coloured fusion crust, which has taken on a deep ochre-tinted patina.
Chondrite meteorites such as this example were formed at the very beginning of our solar system, by the accretion of various types of dust and small grains, adrift in the vacuum of space and, as such, provide important clues about the birth of our own planet. This piece is an especially rare specimen, known as an oriented meteorite...
