NWA 5418 individual Meteorite melt-brecciated L6 Chondrite - 395 g

Individual of the classified L6 chondritic stone meteorite NWA 5418 early NWA number from 2006 Together with Mr. Wuthenau, I bought a box of nice roundish, shoklate brown meteorites with visible melt-veins at the Tucson show wit a total mass of 12.8 kg. The Meteorites were classified at the University of Hamburg (my hometown :) ) as L6 Chondrite. Even with this boring classification, they have an interisting inner apperance. They show big Troilite inclusions, big Chondrule fragments and melt pockets. So there is a mistake in the Meteoritical database, claiming it was just one mass. It hase been arround 25-30 pices with the total of 12.8 kg State/Prov/County: Tucson, USA Date: 2006 Mass (g): 12,800 Pieces: 1 Class: L6 Shock stage: S3/4 Weathering grade: W2 Fayalite (mol%): 24.5 Ferrosilite (mol%): 21.26 Type spec location: Hamb Main mass: Wuthenau For sale is here an uncut individual of 395 g - 93 x 62 x 46 mm scale cube is 1 x 1 x 1 cm International meteorite collector association member number #3503
