Unit price perOut of stock
This is a fantastic 3.87 gram part slice NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite. The dimensions of the specimen are 15x9x9 mm. This part slice displays a superb crust on one surface and and multiple cut faces that have been professionally prepared to show all the chondrules typical of the best 869s.
Most NWA 869 samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).
This premium quality specimen shows the best of 869 you can get today and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
