Rare "Golden Pallasite" type of132 g. It was in 2018 that nomads discovered in the Sahara desert a set of meteorites from the same fall. Exceptional to more than one type. Indeed, pallasites are very rare, but it is also because of their astonishing shape that golden pallasites have been sculpted naturally by the sand wind during the thousands of years of their earthly stay. And it is above all to their golden patina that they owe their nickname of Golden Pallasite. These meteorites are highly sought after for their unique beauty in the meteorite world. The discoverer, a nomad from the Sahara desert, gave this name because he knew of their great rarity, their great value, and under the desert sun, the brilliance of these meteorites evokes the brightness of gold. Weight 132 g, dimensions 60 x 45 x 35 mm approximately.
