NWA, North West African (Tindouf, Algeria) Chondrites & NWA Unclassified
A recently found Meteorite, discovered around the year 2000-2001. Thought to have fallen up to 10,000 years ago. Age is estimated at 4.6 Billion years old. Large Collector specimens and small budget price samples currently available. The Larger specimens of these Chondrites have fusion crust and good clean detail, as well as being affordably priced as well. They are very good quality pieces, very clean and not too much weathering. Classified as L5 Chondrite, mostly from the NWA 869 strewn field finds of the Berber people of the Sahara and North West Africa.
We also have L4-L6 Unclassified Meteorites. These are common finds and found easily on the surface but have no classification number assigned to them. They are common and a cheaper way to own a large piece of Meteorite without breaking the bank.
Smaller specimens come boxed and labelled and are ideal for gifts. We do have very small pieces of this material if you are on a very tight budget or want a specimen for a children's collection, just email us and we'll see what we can do for you!
