This 250 gram specimen acts as a true anchor for a serious meteorite collection. Representing a substantial fragment of the NWA 18759 fall, it carries the physical heft of the asteroid belt. Scientifically, this L5 chondrite offers a broad canvas of thermally metamorphosed material, featuring equilibrated minerals and recrystallized plagioclase that tell the story of intense heating on the parent body billions of years ago. A commanding piece that demands attention.
