This striking meteorite is unclassified and was purchased out of Morocco.  Unfortunately, the stone was too small to merit the expense of lab classification.  But, upon cutting, this specimen showed the unmistakable texture and appearance of a cumulate eucrite - similar to the famous Dho 007.  Cumulate eucrites have a very distinctive look to them and this meteorite is a beautiful example of the type.  However, because this meteorite is unclassified, I must state that this me....]]> Sat, 10 Sep 2011 11:38:00 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/chondrules-lot-of-loose-meteorite-chondrules-rare $9.99
Here is your opportunity to purchase some of the basic building blocks of meteorites - chondrules.  While chondrules are quite common in many types of chondrites (hence the name), they are often broken, or bound tightly to the matrix, or missing entirely.  On occasion, chondrules will break free from their parent meteorite - this can happen because of mechanical forces (impact, handling) or weathering action.  A few scarce types of chondrite are very friable and chondrules may r....]]> Fri, 19 Aug 2011 14:34:15 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/unclassified-possible-olivine-diogenite-see-description-2g-endcut-1 $6.00
This meteorite is a possible olivine diogenite that was found in northern Mali.  Recently, a meteorite of this type was classified as NWA 5480.  This unclassified meteorite comes from the same Moroccan finder and the same Mali strewnfield.  Suffice to say, in all likelihood, this is an olivine diogenite that is paired with NWA 5480.  But, I must emphasize - this specimen has not been classified yet. Olivine diogenites originate from asteroid Vesta and hail from the deep mant....]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 10:31:30 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/breja-new-moroccan-meteorite-fall-may-2010-taouz $7.00
On May 19, 2010 (or May 01), a brilliant fireball was seen over the Moroccan/Algerian border region near Tindouf.  This fireball produced the Breja meteorite.  This meteorite is very scarce because the strewnfield is in Algeria and it is very dangerous to go there and look for specimens.  Nomads have brought out a small quantity of fresh stones, which are only available from a small handful of dealers worldwide.  Initially this fall was referred to as "Taouz" and there is som....]]> Wed, 15 Dec 2010 15:27:36 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/meteorite-gift-card-childrens-astronomy-artwork $14.99
