NWA 13881 CV3 #20- 79,3 g

423,10 $

NWA 13881 is a CV3 meteorite with very large chondrules.
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 between 4,567 and 4,571 million years ago, making them the oldest materials in the Solar System.

Gyarub Zangbo 001 Pallasite #14 – 5,2 g

283,38 $

Gyarub Zangbo is a pallasite-type meteorite discovered in Tibet in 2020, weighing just 18 kg.
The mineral chemistry, the O and Cr isotopes of olivine and the metallic phase make this an anomalous carbonaceous pallasite.

Gyarub Zangbo appears to be a unique pallasite from a previously unrepresented asteroid in the pallasite collection.

 

Pallasites are unique stony-iron meteorites composed mainly of olivine and ferrous metal.
They are thought to have formed in the boundary region between the core and mantle of asteroids, inside asteroids.
Pallasites are meteorites composed of olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix.
Pallasites are among the most aesthetically pleasing of meteorites.

Exceptional quality !

Thin, translucent slice protected by a very thin layer of resin.
