A magnificent collector’s item, this unclassified chondrite was discovered in the Sahara, most likely in Morocco.
What makes this piece unique is its weight, but also the regmaglypts on its surface.
Regmaglypts are hollow indentations, often thumb-shaped, found on certain meteorites.
Entering the atmosphere slows down the trajectory of meteorites due to air friction.
This friction tears off pieces, forming regmaglypts.
This beautiful meteorite with a lacquered fusion crust is an unclassified eucrite.
The eucrites come from the Asteroid Vesta.

CV3 chondrites are characterized by the presence of large chondrules, abundant pre-solar isotopes and white inclusions called CAI’s.
CAI’s are mineral inclusions rich in calcium and aluminum, formed 4,567 to 4,571 million years ago they are the oldest materials in the Solar System.
This unique piece is an example of a CV3 with a large CAI.
This piece is certainly paired with NWA 7865.
