Pinterest Meteorites

This is an incredible slice of the Big Rock Donga meteorite (MB 71) found in Nullarbor, South Australia in 1970.   Just a single stone of this H6 meteorite was found - by an old trapper who used the stone to plug up a rabbit burrow to keep the rabbits from escaping!  It remained on a sheep farm for many years before finally being recognised as meteoric in 1989.

The matrix is grey/green and mottled, with dark coloured chondrules, lots and lots of fine grained metal flake and dark fusion crust on some specimens. This is a very appealing, difficult to obtain meteorite which is not markedly weathered. . This rare and highly collectable H6 Chondrite is 1 of only 197 approved meteorites from South Australia. The total Mass is registered at 19 Kilograms and this is a nice piece at 3.98 grams with dimensions of 32x23x2 mm.

This piece displays very well with its polished face and would be an amazing addition to any new or existing collection with a high quality piece which is impossible to acquire. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card and one from origin.

This a superb "shocked" individual fragment Sahara Desert NWA 4528 meteorite weighing 727 grams. Its dimensions are 130x83x57 mm. This North West Africa H5 Classified meteorite was found in the desert in September 2006, along with the other 59 pieces for a total mass of 240 Kg .

The shock stage is at level 2 and the weathering grade of 2/3 means it is in very good condition.  Although a common classification of material it shows very well.

This piece displays extremely well, it has size and presence showing a nice crust and patina from years of rest in the desert.  It would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Comes with two specimen cards from the Canagem Collection and The Hupé Collection.
