Description

NWA 13756 Rumuruti Meteorite End Cut
R4 (Rumuruti)
Niger
Found: 2020

Classified as an R4 chondrite breccia, this material represents a unique and separate grouping of chondrites that do not fall into the more traditional major classes known as the Rumuruti group. Found in Niger in 2020, where the consignor purchased the offering from a dealer, this rock weighing 91 grams boasts two cut and polished faces with a consistent light brown coloration in contrast to the rugged, mountainous, and dark brown exterior. One side of the pieces contains a single deep indentation, and the example features a relatively triangular shape with rounded edges and an "arch-like" form. The meteorite of the NWA 13756 variety resembles some ancient spear point.
Measurements: 2.06 x 2.00 x 1.04 inches (5.23 x 5.07 x 2.64 cm), weighs 91.1 grams
