“For the last 25 years, I have been chasing meteorites and getting them into hands of museums, institutions, and collectors.” says Wesel. “While there are many varieties, the most coveted are those directly connected to the Moon; they can far exceed the price of gold.”
Wesel works with a group of trusted locals in areas where meteorites are known to be found. The nomadic Berber trade lines throughout Northwest Africa are such places. “These guys have walked the same paths of empty sand for generations. When they see a rock it stands out as unusual and they’ll show it to me.”
The scientific analysis on NWA 8687 can be seen in the Meteoritical Bulletin.
The auction ends January 27th and can be seen on OpenSea.
