Description

NWA 6694 - LARGE COMPLETE SLICE OF A ROCK JETTISONED OFF VESTA
Eucrite - EUC-pmict
Morocco - coordinates unknown
Found in Morocco in 2009, NWA 6694 is a polymict eucrite (meaning that it contains material which exists in two or more different crystalline structures). Polymicts visually captivate, and NWA 6694 is no exception. This basalt exhibits a mosaic of different textures featuring dark, angular, fine-grained clasts that measure up to 3-cm across. Highly shocked, extremely fresh, and with two edges of fusion crust, this is a choice complete slice of an unusual sample of Vesta. 132 x 103 x 10mm (5.25 x 4 x 0.33 inches) and 334.12 grams (0.75 pounds).
