This is a fantastic crusted 4.5 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 18x13x12 mm.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Tiger's Eye typically exhibits a rich golden to reddish-brown color with a silky luster.

This creates a captivating optical effect resembling the eye of a tiger.

With a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, Tiger's Eye is a durable gemstone that can withstand everyday wear: however, it can still be susceptible to damage from harsh chemicals or extreme heat.

Tiger's Eye is associated with protection, courage, and prosperity. It is believed to enhance focus, clarity, and practical thinking, making it a popular choice for those seeking balance and insight.

Rutile from Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil is a particularly good locality for collector-quality rutile. It is quite different in appearance from the familiar golden rutile needles included in quartz.

Diamantina rutile is commonly found as well-developed, elongated tetragonal crystals with very strong luster. The colour can range from reddish-brown to a very dark wine-red or blood-red, sometimes appearing almost black until the crystal is placed in strong transmitted light. This deep red colour is a characteristic noted specifically for rutile from the Diamantina area and has been associated with relatively higher iron content
