    Description

    Own a large slice of genuine Martian real estate.  This piece would have been ejected from Mars by a large asteroid, with an impact creating enough force to throw this rock into space. It likely floated through the solar system for millions, possibly billions, of years until it's path intersected Earth's orbit, exploded through the atmosphere, and was large enough to survive the fall. The Mars visitor ultimately landed in the desolate, Algerian, Sahara Desert where it likely sat unnoticed for thousands of years until a watchful nomad recognized the stone as a possible meteorite.
    This piece is now under Classification by world-renowned Meteoriticist, Dr Tony Irving at the University of Washington's Earth and Planetary Science lab. Slice comes with glass topped Riker display case and COA. Good luck, and enjoy the pics! Craig
