NWA unclassified chondrite type H5, melt breccia. Specimen - Height: 9.3 cm - Width: 6.9 cm - 450 g

Meteorite NWA (Northwest Africa) - Unclassified H5 melt breccia
Exceptional fragment of a condritic meteorite from the desert of Northwest Africa, featuring distinctive characteristics of a melt breccia. This extraordinary specimen tells the violent story of a cosmic collision that occurred in deep space.
Main features
Classification: H5 melt breccia chondrite
Weight: 450 grams
Dimensions: 9.3 x 6.9 x 4.5 cm
Origin: NWA (North West Africa)
Certification: IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association)
Geological features
This specimen exhibits unique characteristics that make it particularly interesting from a scientific and collectible perspective. It is a melt breccia, which is the result of the fusion of two distinct rock bodies during a violent impact that occurred in space. The surface shows:
Regmaglipti: the digital fingerprints created by ablation during atmospheric entry.
Abundant fusion crust: testimony of the extreme heating experienced during atmospheric descent.
H5 chondrites belong to the group of ordinary chondrites, among the most common meteorites but no less fascinating for that. The H5 classification indicates a high metamorphic grade and a high total iron content.
A unique piece for discerning collectors and astronomy enthusiasts, complete with official IMCA certification guaranteeing its authenticity.

Geological features
This specimen presents unique characteristics that make it particularly interesting from both scientific and collecting perspectives. It is a melt breccia, the result of two distinct rocky bodies fusing during a violent impact in space. The surface displays:
Regmaglypts: the characteristic thumbprint-like depressions created by ablation during atmospheric entry.
Abundant fusion crust: evidence of the extreme heating experienced during atmospheric passage.
H5 chondrites belong to the ordinary chondrite group, among the most common yet fascinating meteorites. The H5 classification indicates a high metamorphic grade and high total iron content.
