meteorite Chondrite Meteorite - 46 g

Beautiful and authentic chondrite meteorite, weighing 46 g, a genuine fragment of primordial material dating back approximately 4.6 billion years, to the very beginning of our Solar System. Chondrites are among the most fascinating and scientifically significant meteorites, as they preserve some of the original material from which the planets formed. Having remained largely unchanged since the earliest stages of the Solar System, specimens such as this offer a remarkable connection to a time long before the formation of Earth. This specimen displays the typical characteristics of a stony chondrite, with a naturally textured surface and a composition dominated by silicate minerals together with iron-nickel metal inclusions, which give the meteorite a slight magnetic response. Its extraterrestrial origin can be traced to asteroidal material from the asteroid belt, fragments of which occasionally reach Earth after travelling through space for millions or even billions of years. A natural and unaltered extraterrestrial object, this meteorite is an exceptional collectible for meteorite enthusiasts, natural history collectors, or anyone wishing to own and display an authentic fragment of the early Solar System. Each meteorite is completely unique, with its individual shape, surface texture, and distribution of metallic minerals reflecting its extraordinary natural history. The specimen from the ArteTerra collection has been paired with a custom-made solid wood display base, designed to enhance both its aesthetic appeal and scientific significance. The front of the base features a laser-engraved naturalistic illustration inspired by its extraterrestrial origin, while the “Arte Terra – Fossil Mineral Design” logo in the bottom right corner represents the authenticity of the specimen and the artisanal craftsmanship of the display.
