Meteorite of the H5 chondrite type named GAO, fallen in March 1960 in Burkina Faso.
The meteorite measures 55 x 50 x 45 mm for 253 g.
One of the most prized meteorite falls, hard to imagine a meteorite collection without a Gao meteorite. It was a real meteorite shower that fell near the villages of Gao and Guenie in March 1960. The meteorites of Gao of more than 100 g became rare. This specimen presents a beautiful black fusion crust with a brown patina typical of its stay of several decades on Earth.
