Anyone who wants to start collecting meteorites often looks for a first piece without immediately going for rare varieties. The Al Haggounia meteorite is suitable for that. It is a stony meteorite from the Western Sahara, of which a large amount of material has been recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fragment weighs between 0.5 and 0.8 grams. Because it is natural pieces, the shape and exact weight vary from one piece to the next. A meteorite is what remains when a piece of space rock survives the journey through the atmosphere, unlike the dust particles you see as shooting stars like the Perseids<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hold it with tweezers or gloves and store it dry, because moisture and skin fat are not good for meteorites. A box with a soft mattress will keep it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al Haggounia is also available in larger sizes, such as the fragment of 0.8 to 1.5 grams<\/a> and a piece of 7 to 15 grams<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rock meteorite from the Western Sahara in a fragment of 0.5 to 0.8 grams.
