Hi Everyone,

I'd like to introduce you to a brand new stone--NWA 6160
(Provisional). It's a beautiful L6 chondrite (W1/2, S2) which would
make a handsome addition to any collection, large or small. Many
easily affordable pieces are available, but with a TKW of only 333g,
there's not much of this to go around...only a few dozen pieces and
that's it!

I submitted it for analysis due to it's unusual aromatic perfume like
odor, but the analysis did not provide any clues to the origins of the
odor. I was told, however that it does have trace amounts of native
copper.

The analysis report from Dr. Irving at the University of Washington is
as follows:

Largely recrystallized with some indistinct chondrules. Olivine
(Fa24.2-24.6), orthopyroxene (Fs20.9-21.3Wo1.8-1.7), sparse
clinopyroxene, sodic plagioclase, chromite, kamacite and troilite.
