This 42.09-gram specimen is a classic example of NWA 869, one of the most celebrated meteorites in history. It is a "regolith breccia," displaying a stunning chaotic matrix of light and dark clasts cemented together by ancient impacts on its parent asteroid. Weighing over 40 grams, this piece is substantial enough to showcase the grey-green interior and polished wind-ablated surface that defines this famous fall. A must-have standard for any serious collection.
