NWA 10153 (paired) Mars Nakhlite #1 – 3 g
2.140,26 $
NWA 10153 is a very rare Martian meteorite of the nakhlite type.
To this date, only 27 meteorites of this type have been discovered.
A study has shown that nakhlites were imbued with liquid water about 620 million years ago and that they were ejected from Mars about 10.75 million years ago by an asteroid impact.
Martian meteorites are Martian rocks that were ejected from Mars by impacts and then fell to Earth as meteorites. The three best known types are shergottites (basaltic to lherzolitic igneous rocks, named after the Shergotty fall in India in 1865), nakhlites (clinopyroxenites or wehrlites, formed of cumulative rocks, and named after the fall of Nakhla, in Egypt, in 1911), and chassignites (cumulative dunitic rocks named after the fall of Chassigny, in France, in 1815).
