Product description

The Hassi Messaoud 001 meteorite was discovered on 11 March 2020 near the town of El Borma, Algeria. It features a total recovered mass of 75 grams and is officially classified as a nakhlite. Nakhlites are an elite group of Martian meteorites named after the first of its kind, the Nakhla meteorite.

Nakhlites are eruptive rocks rich in augite that formed from basaltic magma on Mars about 1.3 billion years ago. They contain distinct augite and olivine crystals. Their crystallisation age, compared to crater counts in various regions of Mars, suggests that the Nakhlites originated in the Tharsis, Elysium, or Syrtis Major Planum regions of Mars.

More information can be found on the website of the Meteoritical Society. Please note that each specimen is unique. The provided product image is a representative sample; the actual size of the meteorite depends on its weight.
