Please visit my eBay http://stores.ebay.com/Outer-Space-Rocks

www.OUTERSPACEROCKS.com ?for meteorites professionally presented with provenance:


NWA 6077 (2.67g) Incredibly rare, Officially classified Ungrouped Achondrite similar to a Brachinite type meteorite. Many scientist have considered this to be one of the most significant finds in history. To put in perspective how important, this meteorite comes from a time when Earth was a primordial ball of molten rock. It may be the only surviving ancestor of Earth itself. The last time such a important discovery was made is when anthropologist found Lucy the missing link between Ape and Man or maybe the much more petrologically important link between Luce and L'Aigle.?This meteorite comes with special documentation and Oxygen isotope information which pairs this stone to the famous NWA 5400.

NWA 6290 (6g End Cut) One of the newest Vestan siblings.Introducing an incredible, Officially classified Diogenite Breccia meteorite. Made of Fresh polymict breccia composed predominantly of distinctly ?milky? orthopyroxene fragments and some polycrystalline clasts, with sparse pigeonite, olivine (bimodal in composition), calcic plagioclase, chromite, troilite and Ni-poor metal.? Orthopyroxene (Fs22.9-24.9Wo1.0; FeO/MnO = 30.8-31.0), pigeonite (Fs28.1-29.1Wo13.4-7.0; FeO/MnO = 22/6-26.0), magnesian olivine (Fa12.9-13.1; FeO/MnO = 40.9-48.5), ferroan olivine (Fa31.0; FeO/MnO = 44.2).? Most of the orthopyroxene is charged with microscopic inclusions of chromite and troilite, which render it pale tan-colored in thin section. The TKW of this meteorite is only 1000g and this is a excellent end cut displaying some really nice refractory crystals when exposed to light from different angles.
