Key Details

• Type: Stone Meteorite (Unclassified Chondrite).

• Weight: 634 g.

• Find Location: Western Sahara (2019).

• Status: Unclassified NWA Find.

This 634 gram specimen is a visually striking example of atmospheric sculpting. Recovered from the Western Sahara, the stone features a rich, dark desert patina and is covered in deep, well-defined regmaglypts (thumbprints). These smooth depressions were carved by intense heat and plasma as the meteorite plummeted through the atmosphere. The distinct relief and "flow" of the surface give it a dynamic, sculptural appearance, making it a highly aesthetic piece for display. It is an unclassified chondrite that stands out primarily for its external beauty and evidence of stable flight orientation.
