New classified meteorites! see above for pages under construction!
Previously classified meteorites
NWA 5799
Classification: LL4 S3 W1
Found: 2008
Location: Morocco
TKW: 497 grams
This is a stone I purchased back in late 2008 from one of my Moroccan suppliers. Just today it was assigned its official number - NWA 5799.
I supplied many institutions with samples of this for testing/study free of charge and also alot of collectors.
Samples of this meteorite are also being used in a study on inclusions in chondrules that have been processed at very high temperatures by Marc Fries of NASA JPL (something I have not made really public until now - suprise to all owners of this!) Once I recieve information on this, I will make it available, but it may be some time before the study is complete.
It features an abundant amount of bleached and armored chondrules and is really a nice fresh stone.
The stone prior to cutting was 497 grams and the main mass as it sits now is 191.1 grams and will remain in my collection along with a single slice I decided to keep.
All samples I had available have long since been sold, so there is no more of this on the market from me - Less then 250 grams was made available.
191.1 gram (Main Mass)

Classification: LL5 Chondrite

This is a new LL5 chondrite that has just been classified by Ted Bunch. There is a TKW of only 387 grams of this meteorite before cutting was done.
