In 2008, a team of Italian and Egyptian scientists used Google Earth to explore the Egyptian desert to look for archaeological ruins, in southwestern Egypt near the border with Sudan they found a crater and in 2009 an expedition was organized to reach it and recover some iron meteorites. It is estimated that the impact occurred 5000 years ago. Apparently, the falling stone exploded at a low altitude and formed a crater 45 meters in diameter and 8 meters deep, measured from the crater rim, with about 2 meters of sediment already deposited in the crater . The meteorite impact left many small intricate meteorites scattered around it. This is considered an unusual fact. Scientists conclude that Gebel Kamil Despite its low mass of (estimated) only 5 to 10 tons, it was able to pass through the Earth's atmosphere largely undamaged and only broke apart when it hit the ground and exploded. The meteorite is removable thanks to magnetic technology and the meteorite tail is gold-plated.

The Star Galaxy Gold from India exudes a sparkling and luxurious ambience. It is particularly impressive due to its gold and bronze-colored inclusions that sparkle on its deep black background. When polished, its full radiance comes into its own. The stone fits into any living environment that relies on strong contrasts. Simply elegant and timeless. The reflective minerals are bronzites embedded in a dark matrix. The Star Galaxy Gold is a gabbro and not granite. A gabbro is a fine-grained igneous rock that was formed deep in the earth's interior. It consists mainly of dark minerals such as pyroxene, hornblende and olives; quartz is absent or only occurs in trace amounts.
