Agoudal Iron Meteorite Fragment

The Agoudal iron meteorite, also known as Imilchil, is a rare mesosiderite found in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This specimen is a stunning fragment from that meteorite fall, which was officially classified in 2000. It belongs to the IIAB group of iron meteorites and is characterized by its high nickel content and striking metallic luster. The surface of this meteorite exhibits distinct regmaglypts (thumbprint-like impressions), formed during its fiery passage through Earth’s atmosphere, a feature that makes it highly sought after by collectors and researchers alike.

Measuring compact and dense, this piece was unearthed in the Agoudal region by licensed Moroccan meteorite hunters. Its authenticity has been confirmed through scientific classification and field verification. The interior, if cut and polished, would reveal a beautiful Widmanstätten pattern — a crystalline structure unique to iron meteorites, formed over millions of years of slow cooling in space. This distinctive characteristic is both scientifically fascinating and visually mesmerizing, offering insights into the core composition of ancient celestial bodies.

Meteorites like this one are not only geological marvels but also remnants of the solar system’s early formation, making them invaluable to both collectors and educators. The Agoudal meteorite has become one of Morocco’s most recognized iron finds, and its fragments are increasingly scarce in the marketplace due to high demand and limited supply.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just beginning to explore the wonders of space rocks, this Agoudal meteorite is a premium specimen worth adding to any collection. Sold by the gram, it offers a tangible piece of cosmic history from Morocco’s rugged, storied landscapes.
