The lunar meteorite Bechar 006 belongs to the rarest types of space rocks. The rocks break off from the surface of the Moon as a result of a collision with asteroids, where most of them fall into the gravitational field of the Earth or the Sun. After spending a long time in space, orbiting the Earth or the Sun, they come under the influence of Earth's gravity and fall, like other meteorites. Lunar meteorites are fragments of our closest celestial neighbor that were torn from the surface by other meteorite impacts (which also resulted in the appearance of numerous craters on the Moon), then traveled a quarter of a million kilometers to Earth and - against all odds - survived the fiery descent through our atmosphere to be found by meteorite hunters. They are known to originate from the Moon, as their geological composition almost completely matches the samples returned from Apollo.

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.
