Hammadah al Hamra 346 "Ghadamis" Chondrite L6 Crusted Individual Meteorite - 42.2g

On 26 August 2018, a large fireball was widely seen and heard around the sparsely populated region of the southern area of the Jabal al Gharbi District of Libya. Hundreds of freshly fusion crusted stones, totaling over 100 kg, were found in early 2019, scattered over several kilometers, about 95 km southwest of Ash Shuwayrif by meteorite hunters who visited the site. The fusion crust is fresh and matte black and lacks evidence of extensive wind abrasion. Given the complete lack of weathering of the stones, it is possible that they originated from the 2018 meteor seen in this region. In 2019, Mr. Marcin purchased 30 kg of the material from a meteorite dealer based in Mauretania. Stones of this possible fall are currently being traded under the name of Ghadamis.  Due to the lack of details/evidence that was provided, this is not classified as a witnessed fall.  It was classified as a find. 

The weight of this piece is 42.2 grams.
