A Substantial L5 Specimen Weighing 219 grams, this specimen is a significant piece of the NWA 18759 meteorite. Classified as an L5 ordinary chondrite, it represents asteroidal material that has undergone thermal metamorphism, resulting in "equilibrated" minerals. The interior typically reveals blurred chondrules merging with the matrix and recrystallized plagioclase, a signature of the intense heat history within its parent asteroid.
