This is a very nice piece of the rare Dar al Gani 476 meteorite. This meteorite was found by a friend of mine in Libya on May 1st, 1998 while searching for meteorites on the Dar al Gani plateau. DAG 476 is classified as one of the rarest meteorites on Earth, a piece of Mars. It is a Shergottite, one of the 3 SNC's (Shergotty, Nakhla, and Chassigny), the 3 types of Martian meteorites. You can Google this information and find many scientific papers written on this meteorite. This piece is a beautiful partslice. It weighs 0.0526 gram. It measures 7 mm by 7 mm by 1 mm. The cube in the photo measures 1 cm. I am a meteorite dealer and fully guarantee any meteorite and tektite I sell. Be sure to see me in the March 1999 issue of the Smithsonian Magazine, I am featured in an article about meteorite hunters! I am also featured in Fortune Small Business magazine.
