A pristine, fresh individual Allende CV3 Carbonaceous Chondrite meteorite. The Allende meteorite fell in 1969 over Allende Mexico. The lab which had been set up to receive the Apollo moon rocks used the Allende to test their laboratory facilities. Much to their amazement they found that the Allende meteorite is 4.5 billion years old, the age of the solar system. Since then it has become the most studied Meteorite ever. The specimen consists of round chondrules in a gray somewhat homogeneous matrix within which irregular white CAIs, calcium aluminum inclusions, containing evidence of a Supernova explosion can be seen. Fresh primary Black fusion crust plus purpleish secondary fusion crust with a natural break up on striking the ground.Normally selling for $30 a gram and not nearly as fresh and nice as this specimen at $25 a gram.
