Shergotite Martian Meteorite Fragment of NWA 1068. These rare meteorites have been identified as being from Mars because of their chemical analysis and oxygen isotopes. In 2001 in the Sahara desert of Morocco a single 1 Kg meteorite was found. This Martian meteorite(named NWA 4857) was found to be a rare Basaltic (volcanic) Martian Shergotite. This specimen is 10 X 7mm weighing .42 gram and has interesting brown and gray pebbly surface. The U.S. is spending billions of dollars to return a sample of pebbles from the surface of Mars. You can own your own small pebble from Mars for far less. Presented in a 5 1/2X 4 1/2 inch Riker mount with a Michael Farmer authenticity card. Estimated Value $300 - UP
