NWA 7308 LL3.6 (S2, W1/2)

A single wind abraded 264g stone was purchased from a Moroccan dealer at the Tucson Gem & Mineral show in February 2012. The stone was cut by Montana Meteorite Laboratory and a sample submitted to Dr Tony Irving for analysis toward classification. Dr Irving describes this meteorite as having closely-packed, medium to large chondrules with some interstitial altered metal. Olivine (Fa19.6-40.1; Cr2O3 in ferroan examples is 0.03-0.05 wt.%, mean 0.04 wt.%, s.d. 0.01 wt.%, N = 6), orthopyroxene (Fs4.2-22.4Wo0.2-1.0), subcalcic augite (Fs17.7-18.2Wo35.3-32.9). This is a nice unequilibrated chondrite, featuring well-defined chondrules. Full slices of this meteorite have a nice polished finish on one side and come in a quality labeled display box for protection and years of viewing pleasure. Scale cube is 1cm on each side and not included in the sale.
