Chondrites are among the oldest substances in the solar system and provide invaluable insights into the early solar system's conditions. They are primarily composed of small stony grains, known as chondrules, embedded in a matrix of similar materials. These meteorites are not significantly altered through melting or differentiation from the solar nebula from which they originated. The presence of nickel-iron and silicon-based minerals adds to their scientific value and aesthetic appeal.
This specimen is highly prized not only for its rarity and scientific interest but also for its compelling story of solar system history. It is display-ready and comes with an ID card.
