Excellent Agoudal meteorite with a genuine natural patina. Also known by the provisional name Imilchil, this meteorite has been classified as a IIAB iron meteorite. First described in 2011, it is considered one of the newest Moroccan iron meteorites. It is now believed that 2 lakes in the area are actually craters of the meteorite. Supposedly, the falling meteorite exploded into 2 fragments that struck the earth, creating the craters. Upon impact, the meteorite exploded into thousands of small and intricate meteorites that were scattered around the present site of the town of Agoudal, which is the highest town in Morocco at 2300 meters above sea level. This meteorite was found by locals during a trip to the Atlas Mountains in 2018. It comes from the depths of space much of the sky and turned into a shooting star, a real alien. The meteorite is removable thanks to magnetic technology and the meteorite tail is gold-plated.
