AGOUDAL IRON METEORITES FOR SALE

The Agoudal (or Imilchil) meteorite is thought to have fallen approximately 40,000 years ago and researchers believe it to be responsible for creating the two famous lakes of “Islit” and “Tislit” in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The first documented pieces were collected in the year 2000 and were sold to a couple of tourists. In September 2011, one piece was sold to a dealer in Errich, who recognized it as an iron meteorite. Following the discovery, meteorite hunters with metal detectors began to search the area, discovering many more meteorites either sitting on the surface or buried a couple of inches deep. Most of the meteorites found are shrapnel pieces that are irregularly shaped and very small, though the largest piece recovered weighed 60 kilograms.
