NWA 7499 Brachinite Meteorite

NWA 7499 Brachinite MeteoriteFind / Fall: Found – August 2012
Location: Morocco
Classification: Brachinite
Total Known Weight: 320g

The NWA 7499 meteorite was purchased in Morocco as nine matching stones in August 2012. NWA 7499 is a Brachinite meteorite and a member of one of the rarest meteorite groups. Brachinites are one of the primitive achondrites which are made up of almost only the mineral olivine. Brachinites can contain from 74-98% olivine and NWA 7499 contains 75% olivine. Brachinites have a small amount of meteoric iron and in the case of NWA 7499 that metal is mostly oxidized, but there are some metal grains to be found upon inspection with a hand lens.

The slices we are offering here are very highly polished on one side and are beautiful examples of this rare type of meteorite.
