Labenne Meteorites

Not bad for something that fits in my hand.
Tarda — Main Mass, 149.50 g - fall, 25 August 2020
A beautifully oriented black stone, with a clear impact mark right on the nose.
Tarda is a rare C2-ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite, preserving traces of aqueous alteration from the early Solar System.
Small stone. Big Solar System story.

✨ Estherville, 116 g individual – A Meteorite with History ✨

Old collection labels often tell a story as fascinating as the meteorite itself. This is a perfect example with this Estherville meteorite, a mesosiderite that fell in Iowa in 1879, accompanied by its vintage label. A complete 116 g individual with thin fusion crust and typical patina from old collection.

🔎 A piece of celestial history, preserved and authenticated.
