Unit price per1 low in stock
Estimated delivery between 30 December and 04 January.
This is an nice 0.98 gram slice of Sahara 02500 L3 classified meteorite. The dimensions of the specimen are 14x12x3 mm.
These meteorites are very beautiful with a highly contrasting and surprisingly colorful texture, often brecciated with numerous clasts. There is not a lot of fusion crust, however, they are only slightly weathered, as they have been found on the desert surface. The meteorites final publication and official naming by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society was expected to be a L3.8 but officially became an L3 with a Shock stage of S2 and a Weathering grade of W1. The name used in the field of Wadi Mellene is the origin of it's find according to the locals.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Jensen Meteorites tag and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
