Northwest Africa NWA 515 Meteorite For Sale
L6 Chondrite
Northwest Africa NWA 515
Morocco, 2001
This is a very nice meteorite. It is one that we wish we had a lot more of. It has been classified as an L6, but as the pictures below show there is a wealth of visible chondurles in many of the slices. Generally, that would not be the case with an L6. It may be one of the collection in a single stone type meteorites, where it depends on the portion was characterized , but we think that you will be very pleasantly surprised by what this meteorite has to offer.

| Sahara 99676 Meteorite L6 This meteorite has some very interesting characteristics. It has areas that are compressed and contain black shock lines only a fraction of an inch away from areas with easily visible chondrules. Some of the larger flakes of metal are two-tone in color and appear to be both nickel iron and troilite. Some large chondrules 3/16th of an inch in diameter have been found during cutting. Some of these are not really armored but are surrounded by rings of scattered flakes of metal. Part slice |
