El Hammami H5 #1 – 382 g
570,73 $
El Hammami is one of the first meteorites found in the Sahara and which was traded.
It was found in Mauritania in 1997, and yet it was also sold under the name of Mhamid, in Morocco, because they are Moroccans
of this city which made the trade of it.
In 1997 November, Mr. Thompson traveled to Mauritania and collected six fresh-looking stones totaling ~200 kg (individual masses of 80, 51, 30, 26,
8 and 4 kg) at the foot of the El Hammami mountains in Mauritania (1000 km southwest of Mhamid, Morocco).
Some of the material looks weathered and rusts easily, but most of it is fairly fresh.
A legend tells that the most oxidized specimens are the ones that were in direct contact with the skin of the camels used to transport the specimens.
