Hammadah al Hamra 346 (Ghadamis) 52.77g Meteorite:
$85.00

Item for sale is a 52.77g individual of the Hammadah al Hamra (also known as Ghadamis) meteorite that was found in 2018 and could possibly be a fall. *This stone has a domed shape with 97% fusion crust. Gorgeous individual, that would make an excellent addition to any collection. On 26 August 2018, a large fireball was widely seen and heard around the sparsely populated region of the southern area of the Jabal al Gharbi District of Libya. Hundreds of freshly fusion crusted stones, totaling over 100 kg, were found in early 2019, scattered over several kilometers, about 95 km southwest of Ash Shuwayrif by Mr. Belal. S. Omar Aliby (and other meteorite hunters) who visited the site. The fusion crust is fresh and matte black and lacks evidence of extensive wind abrasion. Given the complete lack of weathering of the stones, it is possible that they originated from the 2018 meteor seen in this region. In 2019, Mr. Marcin Cimala purchased 30 kg of the material from a meteorite dealer based in Mauretania. Stones of this possible fall are currently being traded under the name of Ghadamis. Physical characteristics: Many individuals from about 100 g to several kg, most unbroken stones are covered by matte black fusion crust. Many stones show well-developed shallow regmaglypts. Overall, the stones are blocky. Where fusion crust is lacking, the meteorite shows a light grayish interior. Specimen are very fresh; some show very minor brownish staining of exposed metal. The meteorite comes with a Big Kahuna Meteorites Certificate of Authenticity / Specimen Card. Scale cube in photo is 1cm on each side, and not included in sale. Big Kahuna combines shipping, and addresses must be in the English language, to facilitate customs input at US Postal Service.
