Like lunar meteorites, these meteorites are among the most sought-after and rarest on the market. DAG 735 belongs to an extremely rare group of meteorites known as SNC group (Shergottite, Nakhlite, and Chassigny) - they are all from the planet Mars. Shergottites are pieces of the crustal mantle of the planet Mars that were blown into orbit by an enormous meteorite impact hitting the red planet. This meteorite spent ages in space before it was caught by the Earth's gravity and landed in the Libyan desert.
