NWA Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite Northwest Africa...
NWA Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite Northwest Africa A simply purely beautiful Chondrite, this brownish stunner has a smooth patch of fusion crust, indicative of flight orientation. The partial 'nose cone' of the meteorite leads to a larger amount of rocky and pocked material resulting in a piece weighing nearly 1.7 kilograms (3.7 pounds). Its mixture of size, color, texture, and shape combine to make this a rather special, albeit technically ordinary, specimen out of the prolific Northwest Africa region so known for producing meteorites. This is a superlative and large display piece. Measurements: 5.43 x 3.87 x 3.62 inches (13.79 x 9.82 x 9.20 cm), weighs 1,658 grams HID09710052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
