NWA 14370 Eucrite Breccia Meteorites For SaleNWA 14370 has a low shock stage and though many of the stones had smooth abraded surfaces with no fusion crust remaining, other stones retained fusion crust in amounts from nearly complete coverage to approximately 50%. The meteorite has a low weathering state with little discoloration of the matrix. After much slicing only a single grain of iron metal was observed. Most of the cut surfaces display a rind of altered material approximately 1.5 mm thick below the fusion crust. The rind is easily noted on many slices when polished. NWA 14370 is an attractive brecciated eucrite with a fine grain texture surrounding coarse angular crystals and clasts.

NWA 12269 (Paired) Martian Meteorite For SaleNWA 12269 is an officially recognized meteorite and was classified in 2018 after a 1679 gram mass was purchased in Morocco. As is often the case other pieces of the same material from the same location are found. The pieces here exhibit the attractive grayish color and most have the dark crystal inclusions typical of this meteorite. The prepared slices have been smoothed to a low polish of 600 grit on one side and polished after even finer grinding to a high polish on the other side.

Northwest Africa (NWA) 10828 NWA 10828 was found in a mixed box of meteorites intended to become slices. But its unusual appearance of chondrules that were eroding out of the ground mass and standing out free of surrounding rock led to it being sent for classification. The single stone of 541 grams had a thick outer layer of fragile material where the ground mass was nearly gone. This outer material became large and small fragments often with the imprint of the choundrules showing as cup depressions. Such replacement of the matrix with calcite is unusual and the distinct large choundrules make for a very interesting H4 meteorite.
