This polished slice of the NEA 067 meteorite reveals a dense, fine-grained matrix dotted with minute chondrules and metallic flecks. The even texture and dark coloration provide excellent contrast, highlighting the subtle structure typical of well-preserved ordinary chondrites. The polished surface enhances the visibility of individual mineral grains, while the natural edge retains a trace of fusion crust from atmospheric entry. Compact yet substantial, the specimen exemplifies the balance between scientific integrity and visual appeal prized by collectors. This refined slice represents an outstanding example of extraterrestrial material preserved in remarkable condition.
