We buy our meteorites directly from him in the Sahara desert.
These are Iron Meteorites consisting of an iron -nickel alloy and are thought to be the fragments of the cores of larger ancient asteroids that have been shattered by impacts.
Iron meteorites are resistant to weathering. They are much more likely to survive atmospheric entry, and are more resistant to the resulting ablation. They can be found even when buried in the Sahara sand by use of surface metal detecting equipment, due to their metallic composition.
A magnet will be attracted to this Sahara Desert meteorite due to its iron content.
As well as your Sahara Desert Meteorite you will receive a small magnet so you are able to test its authenticity
You will also receive 1 x Oval Stand Engraved Special Edition Sahara Desert Design
This stand has been specially designed to enhance your Moroccan Sahara Desert Meteorite.

This stand is UK designed and manufactured.
This sale is for the Sahara Desert Meteorite pictured, 1 x magnet & 1 x oval base + 4 x legs
The 4 legs will require spot gluing to the rectangular base to prevent collapse.
We recommend not using Superglue as this can react with the Acrylic.
