Description from the seller
I am pleased to offer this rare museum-quality Chondrite meteorite, NWA XXX, a spectacular specimen distinguished by its fluted black crust, a direct consequence of surface melting during atmospheric entry.
As this meteorite fell through the atmosphere, portions of its surface partially liquefied and flowed, producing the unique fluted texture that runs across the mass. This process created a natural sculptural pattern, making the specimen both scientifically fascinating and visually striking.
