This is a great fragment of the Tatahouine meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite (ADIO) Ca-poor. It weighs 0.35 grams and measures 8x6x5 mm. This rare meteorite fell on June 27, 1931 at 0130 hours about 2 1/2 mi. NE of the village of Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia.
This rare Diogenite broke into thousands of small fragments, most no larger than a gram. The large mass broke up near the earth's surface and as a result fusion crust is virtually absent, making this a difficult meteorite to recognize. If it had not been witnessed, it most likely would never have been found. Tatahouine is one of a few meteorites that is only available in small sizes, most are under 1 gram.
This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a display box and is accompanied by a Meteor Passion Collection and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
