NWA Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite Northwest Africa...

NWA Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite Northwest Africa A consummate, larger "hand" specimen, this unclassified ordinary Chondrite is anything but common. A superb dark brown fusion crust covers nearly the entire exterior of the extraterrestrial rock with several shallow cratered surfaces. Featuring a somewhat geometric wedge shape and weighing a hearty 711.3 grams (1.6 pounds), this is a significant piece for its size as well as its physical attributes. From acclaimed Northwest Africa, this visitor from beyond our planet is an ideal display specimen on its own merits. Where the piece lacks fusion crust coverage, the exposed edge groove of orangey-pink indicates a vivid interior. Measurements: 3.69 x 3.15 x 2.54 inches (9.37 x 8.00 x 6.44 cm), weighs 711.3 grams HID09710052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
