Mini Gebel Kamil meteorite in a gift box – Egypt

Gebel Kamil, the meteorite of a young crater

The 45-metre Kamil crater was spotted in 2008 on satellite images of the Egyptian desert. The excavations that followed yielded thousands of fragments of a very nickel-rich iron meteorite: Gebel Kamil. The impact, one of the best preserved in the world, is only a few thousand years old.

A raw shard, just as it was found

Each mini fragment keeps its torn edges and rusty patina, traces of the meteorite exploding on impact. In its box, it is the perfect first step into the world of meteorites, or a small gift that always impresses.
