CV3 Meteorites – Rare Carbonaceous Chondrites

CV3 meteorites are a remarkable class of carbonaceous chondrites belonging to the CV group (Vigarano type). These stones are prized for their large, millimeter-sized chondrules, refractory inclusions, and rich dark matrix that together reveal the story of our early solar system.

As type 3 chondrites, CV3 specimens are minimally altered and preserve their original textures, making them some of the most pristine meteorites available. Their unequilibrated minerals, occasional igneous glass, and oxygen isotope signatures below the terrestrial fractionation line all highlight their scientific and collector value.

Dating back over 4.5 billion years, CV3 meteorites are true planetary building blocks—offering a rare chance to own a piece of the very material from which planets formed. Collectors and researchers alike value these meteorites for both their beauty and their importance in understanding solar system origins.
