Martian Meteorite Olivine- Phyric Shergottite Libya This compelling sliver of a meteorite is a slice of the planet Mars! This specimen presents as an Olivine-phyric Shergottite, one of three varieties of Martian meteorites that make up roughly three-fourths of all examples. This extremely thin piece has the intriguing blend of olive green color and black speckles over both surfaces. The primary face is fine and smooth, while the reverse side is "uneven" with minor remnant saw marks. The specimen only weighs 3 grams, but ANY rock from Mars is inherently special. Overall Measurements: 2.13 x 0.87 x 0.09 inches (5.42 x 2.22 x 0.22 cm), weighs 3 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
