Meteorite Pendant: Agoudal

Meteorite

Meteorites are rocks that fall to the earth's surface from space. Often originating from asteroid and comet fragments that travel through space till crossing our planetary path, as the effects of gravity pull the meteoroid enough to fall through the planet's atmosphere.

Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are the streaks of light created by the gasses held within meteoroids burning in the Earth's atmosphere. Some of the fastest meteors travel at speeds of 44 miles (70km) per second. These amazing space rocks are then considered meteorites when they crash to earth as the final bang!

Metaphysically meteorites connect us to the flow of the universe, connecting to other dimensions, and communicating with others.

Agoudal Meterorite

Discovered in 2000 near Agoudal in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Agoudal iron meteorites are also known as Imilchil for the more famous town nearby where there is an annual marriage festival. Over 100 kilos have been recovered, mostly small pieces under 100 g, with the largest piece weighing 60 kg. It is widely thought that this iron IIAB meteorite is connected to a meteor impact that occurred 40,000 years ago, evidenced by shatter cones found in the same area. The nearby lakes Isli and Tislit are possible impact craters related to the Agoudal meteorite.
