Chondrite Meteorite from Sahara Desert Morocco
chondrite meteorites
Most chondrites contain the anhydrous silicate minerals olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, and plagioclase, as well as the nickel-iron minerals kamacite and taenite and the iron sulfide troilite. Some contain claylike hydrous silicates
Meteorite Source
Dakhla Area : south east of Dakhla(Morocco western Sahara)
Area for meteorites found in this area between Imlili, Aousserd and Tichla
We visited Morocco in 2007 and visited areas where meteorites were found but they were extremely difficult to find.
In several hours we only found one small meteorite. Two images enclosed when we went fossicking for meteorites.

Quick shipping with FedEx to the US. It was well packaged. The one I received did have a small crack and chip in the lip, but stuff like that is expected with a natural material like this. I'm happy with my purchase.
