Carbonaceous Chondrite Meteorite

Authenticity guaranteed. Ships next business day.

This Chasing History educational display features a genuine Carbonaceous Chondrite (CV3) meteorite, discovered in 2018 in Niger, Africa.

Carbonaceous chondrites are among the most primitive materials in the solar system, known to contain carbon-rich compounds, traces of ancient water, and even organic molecules tied to the building blocks of life . CV3 specimens are especially notable for their small, glassy spheres called chondrules—formed over 4.6 billion years ago during the birth of our solar system.

This display combines real space material with educational context, making it both a striking collectible and a hands-on way to explore the origins of planets—and possibly life itself.
