NWA 6720 is a rare carbonaceous CM2 meteorite that was found as a single tiny (6.5g) stone by an eagle-eyed dealer who noticed that the small specimen looked like a rare type.  This fresh meteorite was revealed to be a CM2 type of carbonaceous chondrite when it was analyzed by Dr. Anthony Irving at UWS.  This is the same meteorite type as the famous Murchison fall.  CM2 meteorites contain traces of water, amino acids, nanodiamonds, and other exotic materials set into a dark charco....]]> Sun, 25 Dec 2011 06:24:20 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/murchison-display-rare-1969-carbonaceous-meteorite-w-amino-acids-1 $9.00
The Murchison carbonaceous chondrite meteorite fell over the Murchison area of Australia on September 28, 1969.  Murchison meteorites were reported to have a strange rotten smell when fresh.  Later scientific studies suggest that this odor was due to the presence of various organic compounds, including amino acids.  Murchison has been one of the most studied meteorites in science.  Countless research papers have been published on it and it continues to be the source of acti....]]> Mon, 24 Oct 2011 08:54:07 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-801-carbonaceous-cr2-micros $6.00

Allende is one of the most famous of all witnessed falls and no collection is complete with an example of it.  Until the fall of Allende, carbonaceous CV-type meteorites were extremely rare and were present only in large museums or the in the cabinets of wealthy collectors.  But all of that changed on February 8, 1969 when a few thousand fragile black stones rained down on the Mexican countryside around Pueblito de Allende in Chihuahua province Mexico.  During this single fall, mo....]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:23:37 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/murchison-display-rare-1969-carbonaceous-meteorite-w-amino-acids $29.00
