METEORITES   FOR   SALE
DJOUMINE   METEORITE   WITNESSED FALL
At 7pm on 31 October 1999 a bright fireball was seen traveling from SW to NE, accompanied by multiple detonations.   Two meteorites were recovered by children near the village of Djoumine, Banzart, Tunisia.  At least five other pieces were recovered at a later time within a 4-km long strewn field, with the total mass being ~10 kg.   Djoumine is classified as a H5-6 Chondrite with a shock stage of S3.
This is a beautiful looking large stone 3,180 grams of Djoumine meteorite.  The meteorite was shortly pick-up after the fall.  This killer specimen is the "Main Mass." It has around 98% black fresh fusion crust.  Note all the flight marks on the specimen.  Most of the stones were sold intact, so very little of this meteorite has ever been distributed to the meteorite market.  This is one of my best personal collection pieces.   Two photos views .
