Description

NWA Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite
Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite
Northwest Africa
3.04 x 2.55 x 1.80 inches (7.72 x 6.48 x 4.58 cm)

This interesting rock from outer space represents an unclassified Ordinary Chondrite meteorite. Relatively smooth and curved over one side with a smooth cut face on the opposite side, this product of Northwest Africa only lacks a formal classification. The mottled offering displays dark reddish and brown hues as well as metallic flakes for which the material is most typical. This "partial" piece has lots of coloration, texture, fusion crust, and character. Weighing a whopping 402 grams, this is an excellent offering of a meteorite that has everything but a " name."
