This is a superb end cut of the famous Northwest Africa 4295 meteorite weighing 17.22 grams. This is a beautiful specimen from the famous Hupé Meteorite Collection.
Its dimensions are 39.58x25.76x14.87 mm. This North West Africa was originally classified as an Enstatite EL6/7, then an EL3 and finally an EL-Melt Rock meteorite and was found along with the rest of the total mass of only 312 grams in the Algerian Desert in August 2005. This is one of the oldest meteorites on our planet in terms of terrestrial age and has been referred to as a fossil meteorite.
This Enstatite chondrite shock Level is minimal and weathering varies from 2 to 5. This piece displays extremely well and is a completely recrystallized enstatite chondrite with polygonal to irregular grain outlines. The grain size varies from 0.02 to 0.7 mm. Round, curved, blocky objects contain coarser-grained orthopyroxene than in the matrix. No relict chondrules were observed.
This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its professional diamond lap finish and this high quality specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem® and a The Hupé Collection specimen cards.
