Own a genuine Timimoun 003 Aubrite Meteorite Specimen, one of the rarest types of stony meteorites recognised by the Meteoritical Society.
Recovered in Adrar Province, Algeria, during 2025, Timimoun 003 is officially classified as an Aubrite, a rare achondrite composed predominantly of magnesium-rich enstatite. Formed within a differentiated parent body under extremely oxygen-poor conditions, aubrites provide important insights into the early evolution of rocky bodies within our Solar System.
The exact numbered specimen shown in the photographs is the meteorite you will receive. Every specimen displays its own unique natural texture, crystal structure and weathering, making each piece a distinctive addition to any meteorite collection.
