NEA 064 Meteorite End Cut
Eucrite-mmict
Libya
Found: 2023
1.85 x 1.55 x 1.34 inches (4.71 x 3.93 x 3.40 cm)

This end cut of the NEA 064 meteorite reveals a brecciated interior of light and dark mineral inclusions surrounded by a thin layer of weathered fusion crust. The contrasting textures highlight the chondritic nature of the specimen, with fine grains and larger, well-defined clasts visible across the polished face. A natural exterior edge preserves the meteorite's original surface features, providing context to its fiery descent through Earth's atmosphere. The slice offers excellent visual balance between matrix and metal, making it as scientifically interesting as it is visually compelling. This impressive end cut stands as a remarkable example of extraterrestrial material shaped by time, impact, and cosmic history.
