On Offer:16.08g of NWA 6138, LL3.7chondrite meteorite. Official Name: Northwest Africa6138 Abbreviation:NWA 6138 Type:LL3.7 Year found:2002
Country:Northwest Africa Low TKW:79.3g Description:This is an exceptional 16.08g specimen ofNWA6138, a very low metal (LL) type 3(3.7) ordinary chondrite. There was only 79.3 grams of this meteorite classified, and this piece represents ~20% of the known mass of the NWA 6138 meteorite. This is anearly complete individual with a small window cut on one side exposing the interior. The window shows an unusually large chondrule taking up a large part of the window, set against many much smaller well delineated chondrules. The overall macro texture and color of this LL chondrite is very similar to many CR chondrites I have encountered. I suspect this is due to a post accretion oxidation / hydration event (*no aqueous alteration reported), either on its parent body, or after it landed on Earth. What you get:16.08g of NWA 6138as shown, Membrane Storage/Display Box, & signed Certificate of Authenticity.
I offer a 100% no questions asked 30 day return policy.
