Tissint Martian Meteorite
$ 950
A rare and scientifically significant Martian meteorite found in Morocco, this Tissint fragment showcases a glossy black fusion crust and brecciated interior. Collected by certified field researchers, it’s one of the few Martian samples available on Earth. Truly an exceptional extraterrestrial treasure.
The Tissint meteorite is a Martian meteorite classified as a shergottite, originating from the crust of Mars and ejected during a powerful impact. It landed near the village of Tissint, Morocco, in July 2011. What sets this meteorite apart is its confirmed Martian origin, verified by gas inclusions identical to the Martian atmosphere measured by NASA missions.
This particular specimen features a rich black fusion crust, formed as the rock burned through Earth’s atmosphere. Its interior reveals brecciated textures, glassy shock veins, and traces of Martian minerals like olivine and pyroxene. It offers a rare glimpse into the geology of the Red Planet, making it invaluable to collectors and planetary scientists alike.
Recovered shortly after its fall by licensed Moroccan researchers, the Tissint meteorite remains one of the freshest Martian falls on record. Its limited supply and unique composition drive its high value on the collector’s market. Each gram carries with it an unbroken chain of scientific significance, cosmological wonder, and Earth-Mars connection.
This is not just a meteorite; it’s a Martian artifact — a direct piece of another world. Sold by the gram, this authentic Moroccan find allows you to own a tangible piece of Mars, preserved in pristine condition since its discovery.
