1 Only
This is a superb part slice of the Northwest Africa 3152 meteorite, weighing 2.7 grams and measuring 25x19x3 mm. This is a very rare type 7 Eucrite meteorites classified as a HED achondrite Eucrite.
This beautiful 2,7 gram crusted part slice of NWA 3152 is a very rare highly metamorphosed (type 7) basaltic Eucrite achondrite found in Northwest Africa 2005. The internal appearance of this meteorite was somewhat of a surprise when we first cut it because of the very striking and unusual breccia. There are only a few examples of type 7 Eucrites in existence making this meteorite found as single stone an admirable find. A Total known Weight (TKW) of 1,496 grams is officially recorded for this scarce meteorite.
This is a very interesting class of achondrite. This meteorite takes a great polish and displays very handsomely. Both sides are polished so there are no signs of saw marks ruining the appearance of an otherwise highly collectable specimen. The last step in preparing each piece was to dry it using pure ethyl alcohol and a heat lamp, creating a very stable piece that resists oxidation and that will stand the test-of-time.
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 in a large gem box with a Canagem and a Hupé Collection specimen card.
