This Meteorite is a MUST for every collection, and CK4 chondrites are some of the rarest!

The HaH 280 (CK4), slightly equilibrated carbonaceous chondrite, was found in the Lybian desert on March 14th 2000. The TKW, total known weight, is only 26.5 kg. CAI's are quite common and contain An-rich plagioclase and Ca-rich pyroxene. The specimen will be sent with a copy of the original classification attached.

Radiometric dating of the meteorite itself suggests an age of about 4.5 billion years, suggesting it was formed at the very beginning of the Solar System, and which makes it among the oldest material known to exist ( the oldest rocks being only half its age!). Carbonaceous meteorites often contain even ammino acid's unknown on Earth. They are believed to having seeded life on Earth.

We hope you will enjoy owning this unique piece of our Solar System, your own Space Traveller, from way out there.
