This is a superb looking slice of the Shişr or Shi 010 meteorite, weighing 5.62 grams. Its dimensions are 33x23x4 mm. This L5 classified meteorite was part of the 16 stones found in the Shişr Desert of Oman by Russian meteorite hunters in 2001 with a total mass of 17.6 Kg. The shock stage of 3 and weathering grade of 3 is recorded for these pieces.  This meteorite is likely paired with Shişr 008, an L5 that weighed 244 grams.

This is an individual Northwest Africa or NWA 4293 formerly known as NQ10, an H6 chondrite found in the Sahara desert in 2005.  It is one of 5854 approved meteorites classified as such. The meteorite weighs 7.61 grams with dimensions of 26x15x16 mm.  

This fascinating meteorite was mainly found as small individuals and the total weight of the 100's of pieces recovered is recorded as a low 25 kg. The meteorite has a shock stage of 4 and weathering grade of 2.  NWA 4293 is interesting in the way it looks as can be seen in the images.  Most pieces are free of caliche, have a smooth gray surface and are small complete individuals.  The unusual appearance is due to shock hardening and being sandblasted in the desert.

This is a fantastic crusted 4.3 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 18x14x14 mm.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most 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 is a great fragment of the NWA 1459  meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite-olivine. It weighs 0.044 grams. This rare meteorite was found in April of 2002, and called by the Hupe the world's rarest classification as an Olivine Diogenite. 

Mr Hupe said at the time:  "This meteorite featured in the October 2002 issue of Meteorite! Magazine represents the first non-Antarctic meteorite to fall into this exclusive group. A total known weight of 49 grams is officially recorded for this find. Being millions of times rarer than diamond, extreme patience was exercised for the cutting operation. About two and a half grams was lost during the first cut and polishing because we did not possess knowledge of its extreme rarity at that time. Another one and a half grams was provided to four contest winners and a web site promoter. Trying to preserve a main mass of 30 plus grams will leave less than two grams available for private purchase unless a contest winner is willing to part with some of their material. This specimen running on eBay may be your only opportunity to add the world's rarest class to your type specimen collection. Remember, there is no other type of meteorite available in the world that can come close to the rarity represented by this specimen not even a Chassignite, an Angrite or even a Lodranite."

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a display box and is accompanied by a Hupe Collection and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
