The Sayh al Uhaymir 005 meteorite find consists of 5 individual stones found within 2 km of each other. These stones are grey-green in color and have a total mass of 1.34 kg. SaH 005 is believed to be paired with SaH 008, another martian meteorite found in the Oman. A pairing means meteorites are likely from the same incoming meteor, but were discovered at different times and classified as separate meteorites initially.
