Shişr 010 Meteorite | 7.45 Grams | Slice | L5 Chondrite | Rare | Shişr Desert, Oman | SO24

This is a superb looking slice of the Shişr or Shi 010 meteorite, weighing 7.45 grams. Its dimensions are  34x26x3 mm. Originaly classified as an L4/6, this now L5 classified meteorite was part of the 16 stones found in the Shişr Desert of Oman by Russian meteorite hunters in 2001 with a total mass of 17.6 Kg. The shock stage of 3 and weathering grade of 3 is recorded for these pieces. 

This piece shows a nice polished face and is a desirable size perfect to show in class or at a science show.  This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a BA-Meteorites.de.vu (Dr. Bernhard Brinker, Mineralogist and Martin Altmann-IMCA #3825) and a Canagem specimen card.
