Featured in this lot is this Northwest Africa (NWA) Chondrite Meteorite. NWA meteorites are a group of meteorites that were discovered in the Northwest Africa (NWA) region of the Sahara Desert. These are a vast category of meteorites that originate from asteroids, the Moon, Mars and other celestial entities. NWA meteorites are prized by researchers and collectors because they offer a special chance to understand the makeup and development of the Solar System. They are believed to be some of the earliest and most fundamental objects in our Solar System and can provide valuable insight into the formation and evolution of planets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies. The meteorites are not made of metal, so they are Chondrite or stone meteorites. It is clear that the Chondrite contains traces of iron, which gives it a red-brown color. The meteorites are also magnetic. The condition of this sample of Meteorite is well preserved. The meteorite measures 1 7/8" L x 1 5/8" W x 1 13/16" H and weighs 102.7 grams.
