On Offer: 38.84g  Ksar El Goraane meteorite - H5 Ordinary Chondrite Observed Fall in Morocco, October 28th, 2018. Oficial Name: Ksar El Goraane Type: H5 Ordinary Chondrite Description: 38.84 gram Ksar El Goraane meteorite individual.This meteorite was observed to fall in Morocco in October of 2018 while my son Oliver and I were hunting another recent fall not far away. This stunning meteorite is classified as an H5.  Note: this particular specimen displays a fantastic and extremely rare rainbow color on the frothy underside of the orientation. While it is not the same effect as some lustrous coloring patinas in carbonaceous chondrites created by burning hydrocarbons, it is due to a glossy fusion crust made of scoriaceous glass, with many different refractive characteristics and showing off a spray of brilliant color almost never seen in these usually rather chromo-challenged rocks. I offer a 100% no questions asked 30 day return policy.   SEE METEORITICAL BULLETIN E
