Natural unclassified chondrite meteorite sourced from Northwest Africa, displaying a dense form, dark weathered fusion crust, and sculpted surface texture formed during atmospheric entry.
The specimen features pronounced surface contouring and regmaglypt-like depressions across the exterior, created as the outer material interacted with intense heat and pressure during passage through Earth’s atmosphere. Its dark iron-rich patina and naturally weathered surface preserve the appearance of the meteorite in a largely untouched state.
Chondrites are among the oldest known materials in the solar system, formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago during the earliest stages of planetary formation.
This piece retains a strong natural presence and tactile weight, making it suitable as a display specimen, collector piece, or geological artefact.
