Errachidia 004 Meteorite End Cut
Winonaite-an
Errachidia, Morocco - (32° 2' 25"N, 4° 4' 6"W)
Found: 2020

Found in 2020, where the Main Mass of Errachidia 004 was first discovered by meteorite hunter Mustapha Oulkouch, this specimen of the rare Winonaite-an was found by Dr. Abdul Karim. An unusual polymict assemblage of two distinct high and low metal lithologies, this "transitional" material is beyond intriguing. Weighing 53.5 grams, this compelling end cut boasts a seriously captivating patterning with a mix of varied light and dark inclusion pools, with visually different compositions consistent with such material. The metallic aspect of this space rock results in a bluish secondary hue over the cut and polished surface with subtle residual saw mark lines. An impressive example of an uncommon variety, the offering features a weathered fusion crust over the natural, rutty exterior with a slight tapering slope to the 'skin' of the primitive achondrite form.
Measurements: 1.99 x 1.42 x 0.73 inches (5.05 x 3.61 x 1.86 cm), weighs 53.5 grams
