Product detailed description
Erg Chech 007 meteorite is a rare anomalous pallasite meteorite. It was found in 2020 in the Erg Chech region of Algeria. The total weight of the meteorite found is approximately 8.33 kilograms.
Pallasites are a rare type of meteorite that combines metal and stone components. When cut in half, they contain translucent amber-colored olivine crystals embedded in a metal matrix.
It probably originated at the interface between the metal core and stone shell of a long-extinct asteroid or planet that was destroyed billions of years ago by a catastrophic collision. It is this dramatic origin that gave rise to the breathtaking structure of this meteorite.
Due to the limited amount of material found and its anomalous chemical properties, Erg Chech 007 is very rare and is a valuable collector's item.
This meteorite also stands out for its original natural shape, which stimulates the imagination and makes it an unmissable piece in any collection.
