Gem Quality 495 Gram Stony Meteorite. This gem quality 4 x 2½ x 2", 495 gram (over one pound) was found in the Sahara desert and is designated as an NWA meteorite. It is magnetic like all stony meteorites that do not come from a planet and is probably an ordinary chondrite meteorite with chondrules. Chondrules are mostly round bits of material that cooled and joined together to form the asteroids and planets when the solar system was formed. What makes this specimen special is it being completely covered in its original fusion crust with a one inch window cut on one edge that show the dark brown interior of the meteorite with flecks of iron which is definitive of most ordinary chondrite meteorites. Fresh. Estimated Value $400 - UP
