Murchison, Australia, Carbonaceous chondrite, CM2
One of the truly great and intriging meteorites known to science. The Murchison meteorite fell in Victoria, Australia on September 28, 1969 and has been the subject of several hundred professional papers. To date, over 100 amino acids, many left-handed, have been found in this meteorite. Only about 19 are found on Earth, the rest have no terrestrial origin.
Four superb specimens are offered, all with fusion crust. All are pristene, unoxidized, and rich in chondrule and inclusions.

Current data on Carbonado Diamonds

Carbonado or "black" diamonds, are exotic diamonds found in Brazil and the Central African Republic. They are unusual for being the color of charcoal and full of frothy bubbles. These diamonds can also have a face that looks like melted glass.
A research team led by Stephen Haggerty of Florida International University in Miami has presented a new study that these "stones" were brought to Earth by an asteroid billions of years ago. The findings were published online in the journal "Astrophysical Journal Letters" on December 20, 2006.
The scientists exposed polished pieces of these stones, now known as carbonado diamonds, to extremely intense infrared light. The test revealed the presence of many hydrogen-carbon bonds, indicating that the diamonds probably formed in a hydrogen-rich environment-such as that found in space. The diamonds also showed strong similarities to tiny nanodiamonds, which are frequently found in meteorites. Astrophysicists have developed theories predicting that nanodiamonds form easily in the stellar explosions called supernovas, which scatter debris through interstellar space.
Haggerty maintains that the deposits in the Central African Republic and Brazil, came from the impact of a diamond-rich asteroid millions of years ago, when South America and Africa were joined. So even though the two diamond fields are now thousands of miles apart, they're remnants of a single, original deposit. Haggerty estimated that the asteroid must have been about half a mile (one kilometer) in diameter.
The unusual bubbles seen in specimens of carbonados probably came from fizzing gases when the diamonds were forming, Haggerty added. This adds further credence to the extraterrestrial origin theory, since conventional diamonds form under immense pressure deep beneath the Earths crust, where gas bubbles simply couldn't form.
Carbonado diamonds also contain a mineral called osborneite, which has been found only in meteorites and comet dust recovered by the recent Stardust mission. Additionally, adding to the evidence for an extra-terrestrial origin, carbonado diamonds have never been reported among any of the other 600 tons of "conventional" diamonds mined, sorted, graded, traded, cut, and polished in the last century. Hopefully, researchers will eventually identify a carbonado parent body in the Asteroid Belt."

Three, very clean, unoxidized specimens from this famous and very much written about Fall are offered here. One excellent reference work was published in "Meteoritics and Planetary Science" (Robson, Monty, MAPS 44, No. 9 (September 2009) 1343-1354.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Asteroid Presentation Set

Many meteorites originate from asteroids but we're not sure of the pairings. With asteroid Vesta however, we do know. Vesta's reflectance spectra is a perfect match with this meteorite.

This Asteroid Presentation Set contains a slice of a rare type of meteorite called a eucrite. It is enclosed within a display case that is easily opened for examination. Includes an oak base, engraved brass label, and Certificate of Authentication.

Asteroid Display Set, $ 98.00
.
Stardust

This is a great gift. The meteorite in this set formed 4.56 billion years ago in the solar nebula and contains interstellar grains - remnants of an earlier star that lived out it's life and exploded before the formation of our Sun.

Not only does this meteorite contain stardust but at 4.56 billion years old, it represents some of the oldest known unchanged matter. Included: oak base, engraved brass label, Certificate of Authenticity.

Touch this meteorite and you're touching a star.

Stardust Display Set, $ 98.00
