Description from the seller
NWA Meteorite – Morocco Chondrite, 800 g, fusion crust and fracture lines
Description
Superb NWA (Northwest Africa) chondrite specimen from Erfoud, in southern Morocco.
This meteorite features a dark surface in dark brown and black hues, with a natural texture particularly interesting. Its massive and irregular shape, clearly visible fracture lines and desert patina give it an authentic and characteristic appearance of meteorites found in arid regions of the Sahara.
The surface shows areas reminiscent of a fusion crust, formed during atmospheric passage, as well as reliefs and texture variations that testify to its natural history.
With a weight of about 800 grams, this specimen is a nice-sized piece for a meteorite collection, a curiosities cabinet, or an exhibition dedicated to extraterrestrial objects.
Chondritic meteorites are especially sought after by collectors, as they come from primitive bodies of the Solar System and allow studying the materials present at its formation.
