7.10 gram piece of ALLENDE CV3 carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. This witnessed fall, which occurred on February 8, 1969, is the largest carbonaceous chondrite ever found on Earth.  Of greater importance is the fact that the Allende CV3 contains calcium -aluminum inclusions which represent some of the first solid matter to form in the solar system and these inclusions date to 4.567 billion years old.  This highly studied fall totaled over two tons of meteorite fragments.  This stony meteorite is composed of nebular dust and gas from the far reaches of the solar system. Carbonaceous chondrites are considered primitive undifferentiated meteorites whose formation occurred in the early formation of the solar system.  The pictured piece measures approximately 22mm x 17mm x 15mm and comes with a display case when purchased.
