The Amgala 001 meteorite is a unique messenger from the Red Planet, found in December 2022 in the Sagiya el Hamra area of Western Sahara, near the village of Mehharize. It is one of the most recent confirmed discoveries among Martian meteorites, which immediately attracted the interest of planetary scientists and collectors.
This meteorite's journey began on Mars after a massive collision between an asteroid or comet and its surface. The powerful impact created a crater and ejected debris into space. Leaving the gravitational field of Mars, these fragments became meteoroids that traveled around the Sun for many years. Only a small part of them, including Amgala 001, crossed the Earth's orbit, entered the atmosphere, and survived the fall, becoming a true Martian meteorite.
The Amgala 001 meteorite is not just a fragment of another planet, but material evidence of the dynamic history of the Solar System. Studying it opens the way to understanding Martian geology, and owning even a small fragment of this sample is an opportunity to literally hold a piece of Mars in your hands.

Campo del Cielo is a large iron meteorite weighing 50 tons. The meteorite fell about 4,600 years ago, 800 km northwest of Buenos Aires in the provinces of Chaco and Santiago del Estero in modern-day Argentina. Only about 5% of meteorites found on Earth contain iron, so the Campo del Cielo material is very valuable for collecting. Incredible specimens of this meteorite can be found in museums and private collections around the world.
This meteorite traveled a long way through outer space, survived collisions and cataclysms before falling to Earth. It was found by a local hunter who passed his find to Brahim Tahir. Brahim, realizing the uniqueness of this specimen, sent it to his partner, Sean Tutorov, for classification in 2012.

A rare palasite meteorite with an iron-stone structure, found in the Bragin district back in 1807. It is unique in that it contains olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. One of the few samples from the universe that you can hold in your hand.
A fragment of a real meteorite that fell in 1947 — a piece of space history in your collection. It was an impressive atmospheric explosion that left behind more than 20 tons of iron debris scattered across the taiga. The meteorite belongs to the IIAB iron type - extremely dense and durable formations that originated inside ancient asteroids.
