This chondrite fragment was recovered from the wind-swept plateaus of Antarctica and verified to originate from a high-energy asteroid collision near the Martian orbit. It contains pristine silicates and ancient iron-nickel spheres (chondrules) that crystallized over 4.5 billion years ago, before the formation of Earth. Every piece has unique crystalline patterns when etched with mild acid, offering a tangible window into the deep cosmic past.
