Introducing! NWA 7005 & NWA 7006

It's not very often such a significant discovery is made in succession, sent?from outer space, landing on Earth at different times and places,?found by members of the?Berber?tribe who are?a native?nomadic culture and the foremost?meteorite hunters of North West Africa.?
I have been entrusted with this?wonderful opportunity to present, two exciting, interesting and?ultra rare meteorites recently classified by Dr.?Anthony J. Irving.?
Two unpaired?carbonaceous chondrite type?CO3.6 meteorites?that?are very much like?the?Moss?meteorite fall of Norway 2006?

?
NWA 7005 CO3.6 (Provisional) 225g
Well-formed small chondrules. Olivine (Fa0.9-37.5; Cr2O3 contents in ferroan olivine range from 0.02-0.06 wt.%), orthopyroxene (Fs1.2-9.0Wo0.8-2.9), clinopyroxene (Fs1.3Wo39.0; Fs18.1-18.4Wo46.3-47.5), with accessory calcic plagioclase, troilite, pentlandite, taenite and altered kamacite. Some rounded composite metal+sulfide aggregates. Sparse small CAI composed of fine grained spinel, with varying amounts of Mg-ilmenite, grossite and corundum; some CAI have Wark-Lovering rims composed of sodalite and wollastonite.

?
NWA 7006? CO3.6 (Provisional) 335g
Well-formed small chondrules, mineral fragments and rare CAI in a reddish-brown matrix containing minor kamacite and troilite. Olivine (Fa0.4-38.6; Cr2O3 contents in ferroan olivine range from 0.02-0.04 wt.%), orthopyroxene (Fs4.2-5.7Wo0.8-0.4), clinopyroxene (Fs1.4Wo37.0; Fs1.0Wo42.6), with accessory troilite and altered kamacite.?
