    Northwest Africa 13758
    (NWA 13758)
    Adrar, Algeria
    Purchased: 2017
    Classification: Rumuruti chondrite (R3)
    History
    : A large group of identically appearing stones, found together, was purchased by a Saharan dealer from a nomad in Algeria and was subsequently acquired by Mark Lyon and Dustin Dickens. The original find was reportedly in the Tanezrouft Plateau, with the nearest town being Reggane, Algeria.
    Physical characteristics
    : Approximately 500 pieces ranging in mass from <1 kg to >5 kg, with a total known weight of approximately 100 kg. Dark brown sandblasted exterior. Saw cut reveals a breccia with fragments up to ~2 cm set in a fine-grained matrix. Abundant distinct chondrules are visible throughout. Two main lithologic domains exist within this meteorite, one has a gray, unstained matrix, and the second has a brownish-orange-stained matrix.
    Nice specimen for your collection.  Authenticity guaranteed.  COA card included.
