Dear List Members,

today I would like to continue to present some extremely rare and exotic
meteorites.

NWA 7603, an enstatite achondrite with a Tkw of only 126 g.

Enstatite achondrites are a extremely rare class of meteorites with only 6
approved meteorites of this type listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin. The
total weight of all 6 enstatite achondrites together is less than 1 kg, they
are thus rarer than meteorites from Mars and the Moon!
In the Meteoritical Bulletin they are described as followed:
?An enstatite-rich achondrite that has not yet been classified into a
group."

NWA 7603 is a very beautiful meteorite, it is a hard rock which can be
polished very well. Iron metal is well preserved and visible.
The following pieces is all that is available of NWA 7603. Please take a
look under the following link if your are interested.
