This is a superb looking fragment of a Sahara Desert NWA 515 classified meteorite weighing 1.086 grams. Its dimensions are 17x9x5mm. 

This meteorite was found by Berber nomads in the deserts of Africa. Hundreds of small stones, more then 20 kilograms in total, was purchased November 8th, 2000 in M'Hamid, Morocco, Africa by a group of meteorite dealers and collectors. 247 grams was donated to UCLA were it was classified by A. Rubin as an L6 Chondrite with a shock rating of 2 and a weathering grade of 3 (25% olivine). Cut pieces of this meteorite show a nice light matrix with golden hues.

Thin sections (2nd photo) show nice chondrules ranging in size from less then 1mm to 3mm.  Thin sections are used in earth geology, and in meteorites to identify the minerals in them. Stone meteorites are made of mostly of olivine and pyroxene. The pyroxene is typically greyish or yellowish and the bright colored minerals scattered throughout the photo are mostly olivine.

This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a The Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking fresh individual Thuathe H4-5 classified meteorite weighing 3 grams, with dimensions of 17x11x7 mm.  It is 99% fusion crusted, which is the most desirable specimen state.  

A meteorite travelling east to west exploded over Lesotho producing an elliptical strewn field extending 7.4 by 1.9 km (bearing: ~276°) on the westernmost lobe of the Thuathe (or Berea) Plateau, ~12 km east of the capital city of Maseru.

The explosion was accompanied by an extraordinarily loud, 15 s long noise which was heard over a large (100 km radius) area of Lesotho; the fall was eye-witnessed by several people who reported sightings of dust trails of “sparkling objects” over Lesotho and the southern part of the Free State Province of South Africa. Many villagers of Ha Ralimo, Boqate Ha Majara, and Boqate Ha Sofonia reported falls of stones close to themselves and onto their homes. The estimated total mass of recovered material is ~30 kg, including 418 stones in the 2 g to 2.4 kg mass range for a total of 24.673 kg which were collected and catalogued by A. Ashworth and David P. Ambrose

Most freshly cut slices from several stones show a homogeneous beige to light-grey lithology speckled with abundant and heterogeneously distributed (20% to, in exceptional cases, >50 vol%) metal particles; some are cross­cut by dark shock veinlets and show brecciated structure with light grey matrix surrounding lighter colored, well-rounded inclusions; chondrules distinctly recognizable.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a protective case, and includes a Michael Farmer Meteorites, a Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

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 8.6 grams with dimensions of 25x19x12 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 specimen comes with a Canagem specimen card.  Would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
