NWA 6287 is a rare L/LL5 chondrite that was purchased out of Morocco by John Higgins and classified by Dr. Tony Irving.  There are only 16 known L/LL5 chondrites, so this is a very rare meteorite that is highly desired by "type collectors".  Note, this classification is provisional.  The classifier said that this particular meteorite is very rare and that it doesn't neatly fit into the L or LL classes, so he designated it as "L/LL5" until more studies can be done. 

This meteorite has a lovely matrix that shows chondrules, nickel-iron inclusions, and troilite inclusions.   The weathering and shock ratings are W1 and S2, and the TKW is a modest 4.4kg.
