AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent meteorite NWA 869, of the brecciated chondrite type, classified as L3-6, which means it has a medium iron level and chondrules ranging from perfect and well-defined (type 3) to some fused with the matrix (type 6).
The dispersion area is located near Tindouf, Algeria, extending also towards the border with Morocco. In this well-sized specimen, we can see magnificent condrules on the surface and a beautiful shape, which speaks to how the meteorite fell. When cut, its brecciated structure with zones of different lithologies would appear. Spectacular!
A great opportunity to add to your collection a piece of the most famous classified condrite in the world. Condritas are the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated formation age of 4,550 million years. A true jewel of the universe in your hands.
We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material for life. Shop with confidence.
