NWA 10158 is a mesosiderite meteorite.
It is a rare type, but the particularity of NWA 10158 is that it must have arrived on Earth a long time ago for proof of its terrestrialisation.
NWA 10158 does not look like a classical mesosiderite and it is only with a scientific analysis that its exact type has been determined.
This meteorite is nevertheless an aesthetic meteorite, and each cut slice is different.

Esquel is certainly one of the most beautiful pallasites in the world and is not subject to oxidation like some other pallasites.
Pallasites are certainly the most aesthetic group of meteorites that we know.
A very nice acquisition for your collection !
