This new meteorite display features a genuine piece of the planet Mars! - a small sample of the Martian meteorite Zagami.  Zagami was seen to fall to Earth in Nigeria in 1962 - this means it is a "witnessed fall", making it a desirable Martian meteorite.  For a while, Zagami was the "rock star" of meteorites when Bob Haag first acquired a portion of it and released it onto the collector's market.

The meteorite specimen is encased in a clear acrylic gemjar which is placed inside a handsome display box that has a black pebblegrain finish and a glass viewing window.  The Mars Rock can be removed from the case and handled or examined.  The color artwork inside the display has a retro-vintage astronomy theme and it was laser printed for highest quality.  This display would make the ideal gift for someone who has everything.  This would also make a fine outreach or educational prop and it would look great on display in the office or observatory.

I only have one of these displays that has a Zagami fragment, although I do have other displays that contain other Martian-origin meteorites such as NWA 998.

Refer to the photo.  The black centimeter cube is shown for scale and is not included.
