This is a superb slice of the famous Northwest Africa 2965 meteorite, it weigh 1.49 grams and measures 26x22x1. This is 1 of only 26 approved meteorites classified as EL-melt rock.
This North West Africa was first classified as an Enstatite EL6/7, then became an EL3 and finally ended up being classified an EL-Melt Rock meteorite; it was found along with the rest of the total mass of more than 100 Kilograms 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 diamond lap finish, it is a high quality specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with Canagem specimen card.

I ordered a Myanmar ruby of 1.85 ct. and a 1.2 ct. garnet. They processed my order the same day and the package showed up at home only two business days later. Beautiful gems, beautifully presented and excellent service. The website is a joy to peruse. I immediately ordered half a dozen more for a birthstone project. The best source i found for stones in Canada. Thanks Laura & Jean!
Très belle pièce. Je commence à collectionner les météorites et cette pièce est peu dispendieuse et va enrichir ma collection. Expédition rapide et excellente communication avec les gens de Canagem. AAA+++
It wasn't until I got a new UV light that I was able to see the amazing colour of this flourite. The specimen is very attractive in natural light, and crazy beautiful under 254nm UV! I love it!
