Agoudal (Iron IIAB)
Found in Morocco, 2000
In 2000, small pieces of an iron meteorite were collected near Agoudal in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Known also by its provisional name, Imilchil, the meteorite was classified as an IIAB iron. After a small specimen was sold to a dealer in Errich, who recognized it as an authentic space rock, hunters returned to the find site in 2012 and uncovered a considerable amount of meteorites, most of them small pieces found on the surface or buried a few centimeters deep.
Agoudal individuals display a beautiful natural patina and, when cleaned, some reveal orientation and flow lines with tiny regmaglypts. An interesting desert iron with attractive shapes and rich natural patina.
Every meteorite is unique; yours will be similar to the one photographed, but not exactly the same.
