Description

Uncut CV3 Meteorite
Paired with NWA 13952
Morocco

This uncut Carbonaceous Chondrite CV3 paired with NWA 13952 from Morocco is dark and blackish in coloration with a highly textural primary surface and a much more smooth reverse face with visible superficial cracking. A most unusual piece weighing 165 grams, the mysterious exterior protects an interior replete with the requisite Calcium Aluminum Inclusions (CAI's) and numerous chondrules in assorted sizes and colors. A piece that only recently got its associated NWA number, the relatively new example is indeed something special.
Measurements: 2.70 x 1.93 x 1.57 inches (6.87 x 4.90 x 4.00 cm), weighs 165 grams
