Meteorite: NWA 2090
Classification: CO3
Process: Reflected Light
Wow, What a beautiful meteorite. These images are in reflected light of a
highly polished (1/4 micron) thick slice. The magnification is at 345X.

I bought this sample from Mike Farmer. The description is from Mike's site
where he has more slices still for sale.

"NWA 2090
This meteorite is classified as a carbonaceous chondrite, (CO3.). A broken
stone weighing only 875 grams was found in Morocco or Algeria in 2003. I
bought the entire mass from the nomads there. This is a beautiful CO3, with nice
chondrules, it is shock level 1, and weathering level 1. "
