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 3 grams with dimensions of 17x15x8 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.

The Toluca meteorite is classified as an Iron IAB-sLL and was discovered in Xiquipilco, Mexico state, Mexico. The classification Iron, IAB-sLL means "An iron meteorite belonging to the low-Au, low-Ni subgroup (sLL) of the IAB complex". The IAB iron meteorites have complicated textures and chemical-mineralogical features that indicate a complex history for the parent body. These meteorites commonly contain abundant silicate inclusions embedded in the metal phase.
This specimen was etched to show its unique widmanstatten pattern.

Vaca Muerta Meteorite | 3.12 Grams | End Cut | Rare Eucrite Nodule | Chile
Vaca Muerta Meteorite | 3.12 Grams | End Cut | Rare Eucrite Nodule | Chile
Here we have for you a superb end cut of the famous Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 3.12 grams. Its dimensions are 20x19x5 mm.
This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta.
Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. This particular specimen is a cut of a eucrite nodule with none of the typical mesosiderite of Vaca Muerta.
This rare specimen displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with an ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem® specimen card.

This meteorite was once a pile of weathered unclassified meteorite fragments brought to the 2000 Denver show by a Moroccan fossil dealer. These fragments, 73.9 kg. worth, where purchased by Canadian meteorite dealer Dean Bessey, who was told the following on the meteorites: "A nomad found an area with a lot of unusual strange stones near the Morocco/Algeria border. He brought one to a fossil dealer and asked: "I hear that you will pay money for stones like this". After shaking his head in disbelief at a positive response, the nomad gathered up all his camels, wives and children and brought them into the desert to search over his personal strewn field." Or at least that is how the story goes.
Many thousands of stones, 73.9 kilograms, were recovered, most of these fragments under 20 grams. Then 356 grams and a thin section of the meteorite was donated to the Vernadaky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, where it was classified by M. Ivanova. This meteorite, an ordinary stone chondrite, H4 class has a Shock Rating of 2 and a Weathering Grade of 2-3 and the classification information was published in Meteoritical Bulletin 85.
While the stone did not get a heavy weathering grade, very few specimens show any crust. This meteorite is believed to have come from the Hebe class asteroids. I've included an informational photo of a NWA 267 Meteorite thin section which are used in earth geology, and in meteorites to identify the minerals in them. The photo shows a large imperfect elongated chondrule. Chondrules are unique features to meteorites. The chondrule shown is composed of mostly pyroxene and the bright colored minerals scattered throughout the thin section is mostly olivine.
One of the fun facts is that the NWA 267 was also the first meteorite ever minted onto a real legal tender coin. The National Bank of Liberia made 999 of these $10.00 Silver coins in 2004. The meteorite used in the coin, was supplied by Mark Bostick himself and his name and signature came on the certificate with the coin. The provided images of the coin shows a nomad on a camel on the obverse. A meteorite is falling through the star filled sky in the background. Reverse of coin has a seal of the Liberia Government and notes its value. We include 2 specimen cards but unfortunately the thin section and coin used in the ad are NOT included!
