Grapevine Mesa CBa Meteorite Grapevine Mesa stones have a rusty exterior with some remaining patches of fusion crust. Slices made from Grapevine Mesa show rounded to angular silicate inclusions accompanied by rounded to anhedral metal grains. The metal of Grapevine Mesa closely resembles the meteorite Bencubbin. Grapevine Mesa has been placed in the subgroup A (CBa) of the Bencubbin-like Carbonaceous Chondrites. Bencubbin-like Carbonaceous Chondrites are very expensive and these small fragments make this rare classification of meteorite much more affordable.

Abadla 002 CM2 Meteorite For Sale The chondrules and CAIs of Abadla 002 are set in a fine grained matrix. Most of the chondrules are porphyritic type 1. The matrix olivine is mostly fragmental and ferroan. The mean chondrule size is approximately 300 microns. Abadla 002 contains aluminous diopside, troilite, FeNi sulfide, and low Ni iron. Abadla 002 has a low shock stage and a low weathering grade. Some small CAIs are seen in the meteorite.

Balambala Iron Meteorites For SaleThe Balambala iron meteorite has a low weathering state and a low shock stage. Etched surfaces of Balambala will often show rounded troilite inclusions, lath-like schreibersite inclusions in swathed kamacite. The bulk of the meteorite is composed of kamacite spindles in a matrix of taenite. The taenite is zoned to higher nickel adjacent to kamacite spindles. Balambala is a type IIF iron based on its high Ge/Ga ratio and high Co content and a fit with regression parameters. No heat alteration was observed in Balambala.

Aba Panu L3 Meteorite Abu Panu is an L3 Chondrite and internally, Abu Panu meteorites are a gray color but may appear gray-green externally. Abundant chondrules are seen of all chondrule types. Many armored chondrules are also found. Few shock veins are seen in slices. Stones had little fusion crust which is confined to recesses in regmaglypts.Part Slice

Northwest Africa (NWA) 14729 Lunar MeteoriteNWA 14729 was found as a single stone. The meteorite has a dark green-brown color. It is a highly shocked meteorite as might be expected as a melt type meteorite. It is moderately weathered meteorite. NWA 14729 is a polymict breccia with a host rock of anorthositic troctolite composed of fine grained olivine with a lesser amount of pryroxene. The fine grained light colored host rock is set in a darker vesicular melt rock matrix. Some of the element content in the olivine and plagioclase of NWA 14729 is consistent with that of returned samples of Moon rock from the manned Apollo missions.

Sahara 99676 Meteorite L6This meteorite has some very interesting characteristics. It has areas that are compressed and contain black shock lines only a fraction of an inch away from areas with easily visible chondrules. Some of the larger flakes of metal are two-tone in color and appear to be both nickel iron and troilite. Some large chondrules 3/16th of an inch in diameter have been found during cutting. Some of these are not really armored but are surrounded by rings of scattered flakes of metal.

Northwest Africa (NWA) 11474 Lunar MeteoriteNorthwest Africa (NWA) 11474 is classified as a lunar feldspathic breccia meteorite and was purchased from a Mauritanian meteorite dealer May 10, 2017.

Thuathe H4/5 Meteorite  The black fusion crusted Thuathe stones have a light gray interior with abundant grains of metal showing scattered across a cut surface.Some specimens have dark shock veins and show a brecciated interior structure. Rounded inclusion are seen along with chondrules that are easily visible.

Northwest Africa (NWA) 10816 NWA 10816 is quite fresh with a weathering grade of W2 and it has almost all of its original metal which is little being a type LL. We have prepared both large and small slices of the meteorite with one side highly polished and the other side having a low polish. Part Slice

Northwest Africa (NWA) 10731Northwest Africa 10731 is a fascinating meteorite. Classified finally as an L 3-6 genomict breccia it contains material that is on the boundary of type LL. Metallic copper has been discovered in the meteorite. The type 3 material is found as fragments in the main lithology, the type 6 material is seen as large clasts, there are areas of glass that appear as darkened masses. The abundant visible chondrules and chondrule fragments make this a most interesting stone to study and its unusual classification and characteristics make it a meteorite for any collector.Part Slice

NWA 7831 Diogenite Meteorite For Sale NWA 7831 is a beautiful green color typical of the mineral Diogenite.The meteorite is reminiscent of Tatahouine though NWA 7831 has Diogenite crystals that appear less opaque. Many of the crystals exhibit a bright sheen on their cleaved faces.

Touat 005 Lunar MeteoriteTouat 005 lunar meteorite is composed of white plagioclase megacrysts up to 2 cm in size and anorthosite crystals which may be euhedral set in a dark glassy matrix. Touat 005 has shock veins and vesicles evidence of the high stock stage the meteorite has. Toaut 005 is only moderately weathered. This is a very attractive meteorite with a different mixture of clast than many other feldspathic breccias. The sliced pieces offered here are highly polished on one side.

Gao-Guenie H5 Meteorite For Sale Gao officially named Gao-Guenie was a witnessed fall on March 5 1960. There was initially some confusion as to whether there had been two distinct falls a month apart in Burkina Faso, but specimens collected using both names are exactly the same material. It is now officially considered to be one fall and has the combined name. Thousands of stones have been found and continue to be recovered from the area. It is an H5 chondrite. Some specimens are oriented and many have interesting shapes.

Aguas Zarcas CM2 MeteoriteThe Aguas Zarcas meteorite is a CM2 carbonaceous chondrite. This is one of the most exciting meteorite types for science as they contain water and organic compounds left from the creation of the solar system. Aguas Zarcas has been classified also as an Anomalous CM-2 so it has some features that make it especially unusual. Aguas Zarcas stones have a black matrix with Calcium Aluminum Inclusions (CAIs) and chondrules. This is the largest fall of CM-2 meteorites in recent history and the research on it will continue for years perhaps decades to come. This is a meteorite that truly should be in every meteorite collection.

Northwest Africa (NWA) 11788 Lunar MeteoriteLunar Meteorite NWA 11788 is a Feldspathic Breccia. It was obtained in Mali in 2017. We are offering small affordable pieces of this interesting lunar meteorite. The fine fragmental breccia of NWA 11788 and its dark gray colored matrix make NWA 11788 somewhat different from many of the other Lunar Feldspathic Breccias which often consist of larger clasts.
