Own a genuine Amalga 001 Martian Shergottite Meteorite Specimen, an exceptionally rare meteorite that originated on the surface of Mars before being blasted into space by a powerful asteroid impact and eventually falling to Earth.
Officially recognised by the Meteoritical Society, Amalga 001 was recovered in the Sahara Desert during 2022 and approved in 2024. Classified as a Shergottite, this extraordinary meteorite is one of only a small number of recognised Martian meteorites known worldwide. Laboratory analysis confirms its Martian origin through its mineralogy, chemistry and trapped atmospheric gases that match measurements made by spacecraft exploring Mars.
The exact numbered specimen shown in the photographs is the meteorite you will receive. Every specimen preserves a unique record of Martian volcanic activity, making it an exceptional addition to advanced meteorite collections and planetary science displays.
Specimen Preparation
These specimens are supplied in their natural raw condition. No cutting, polishing, stabilisation or artificial enhancement has been carried out, preserving their original Martian mineralogy and geological characteristics.
