Tatahouine is one of those historic meteorites that every collector wants in their collection. Getting harder and harder to come by this meteorite on the market these days. I'm offering you a great opportunity to add a small piece to your collection. Weight - 0.6g History On June 27, 1931 a fireball was seen to explode and thousands of small fragments rained down outside the southern Tunisian town of Foum Tatahouine, about 50 miles from the Mediterranean coast. While the overwhelming majority of meteorites originate from the asteroid belt, NASAs Dawn space probe provided overwhelming evidence that HED meteorites (howardites, eucrites and diogenites) are among the few meteorites with a specific return address: Vesta, the second largest asteroid in our solar system. I guarantee 100% that the meteorites for sale on this page are genuine meteorites. All my meteorites come with a Certificate of Authenticity. GMA #G0049 Global Meteorite Association Member
