The meteorite NWA 7034 is an exceptional meteorite.
This meteorite is not alone because other stones of the same type have been found in the fall zone.
It is a Martian meteorite, certainly the rarest and most scientifically interesting meteorite ever found. It was discovered by meteorite hunters in the Western Sahara.
It is the oldest rock from Mars ever discovered and contains more water than any other known Martian meteorite. Its texture is brecciated, it is composed of an agglomerate of rocks of which each rock tells us a fascinating story.

Rbat Sbayta 002 is a lunar meteorite discovered in 2016 in Morocco in the Western Sahara.
It has been classified as Lunar (feldspathic breccia).
It is composed of angular mineral clasts of anorthite, orthopyroxene, olivine, pigeonite, ilmenite, chromite, fayalite and Ti-chromite in a fine-grained, partially vesicular matrix, as well as troilite and barite.
About fifteen years ago, lunar meteorites were sold for almost 1000 euros per gram!

Sebkha el Melah 001 is a non brecciated Aubrite meteorite, discovered in Mali in 2022 in the region of Wad Alhath.
To date only 78 meteorites of this type have been classified.
It is a rare type of meteorite, difficult to find on the market.
The name Aubrites is linked to the fall of a meteorite in Aubres, France in 1836. They are composed mainly of orthopyroxene to enstatite.
This aubrite has one of the highest enstatite abundances ever reported (~98%). The enstatite, diopside and forsterite in this meteorite have some of the lowest iron contents (below the electron microprobe detection limits for major elements) ever documented in an Aubrite.

NWA 15364 is a very rare Martian meteorite of nakhlite type.
To date, only 31 meteorites of this type have been discovered.
A study has shown that nakhlites were imbued with liquid water about 620 million years ago and that they were ejected from Mars about 10.75 million years ago by an asteroid impact.
Martian meteorites are Martian rocks that were ejected from Mars by impacts and then fell to Earth as meteorites. The three best known types are shergottites (basaltic to lherzolitic igneous rocks, named after the Shergotty fall in India in 1865), nakhlites (clinopyroxenites or wehrlites, formed of cumulative rocks, and named after the fall of Nakhla, in Egypt, in 1911), and chassignites (cumulative dunitic rocks named after the fall of Chassigny, in France, in 1815).
