NWA 7325 is a very rare ungrouped achondrite meteorite.
Anthony Irving, a meteorite specialist at the University of Washington in the United States, analyzed this meteorite. The results are surprising since according to him, NWA 7325 could not come from Mars, nor from the Moon but from the planet Mercury.
But this is only a theory at this point.
Nevertheless this meteorite of an intense green color is unique !

History: Found by Ahmed Dich and Hssain Azmamar in January 2021. Bought by Jean Redelsperger from Zaid Oualguirah in February 2021.
Physical characteristics: Partially crusted stone with a light grey interior
Petrography: (J. Gattacceca, CEREGE) Brecciated igneous rock with mineral and lithic gabbroic clasts. Main minerals are pyroxene (some exsolved) and plagioclase with grain size in the 100 to 500 µm range. Accessory minerals: metal (to 150 µm), chromite (to 100 µm), ilmenite (to 150 µm), troilite (to 200 µm).
