This 175-gram specimen is a substantial and solid piece of the NWA 13281 meteorite. It features an impressive contrast between the dark, remnant fusion crust formed during its fiery entry into Earth's atmosphere and the weathered brownish interior typical of desert finds. With a weight that feels significant in the hand, this L5 Chondrite connects you directly to the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. It is an ideal specimen for collectors who appreciate both the visual texture and the physical density of space rocks.
