Daoura 003 is a CM2 type meteorite of only 101 grams, it was discovered in Algeria in 2021.
It is a fresh meteorite with a very nice cracked fusion crust.
This meteorite is of the same type as the famous Murchison meteorite.
CM2 meteorites are becoming increasingly difficult to find on the market.

Tanezrouft 081 is an ordinary chondrite of type H5. It was found by two Frenchmen A. Goueslain and J. L. Parodi in Algeria in 2003 in the Tanezrouff in Algeria.
At that time prospecting in Algeria was still possible.
A very nice piece for your collection !
Sueilila 003 is a meteorite of type CV3, oxidized subgroup, it was discovered by Mbark Ben Amar and Amar Azerwal in 2016 in the Western Sahara.
This meteorite has the particularity to have large chondrules of brown color and smaller chondrules of gray color.
No explanation has been found so far by science.
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.

Lahmada 048 is an achondrite ureilite meteorite of only 59 grams discovered in the Western Sahara in a concentration area called Lahmada.
It was discovered on September 23, 2020 by Brahim Elguirah.
Lahmada 048 certainly contains diamonds in view of the difficulties to cut it.
The diamonds, which are rarely larger than a few micrometers in diameter, are probably the result of high-pressure shock waves produced by the collision of the parent body of the ureilites with other asteroids.
Writeup from MB 110 :
Lahmada 048 27°24’20.78″N, 9°51’13.07″W
Saguia el Hamra, Western Sahara
Find: 2020 Sep 23
Classification: Ureilite
History: The meteorite was found by Brahim Elguirah. The meteorite was bought by Jean Redelsperger from Zaid Oualguirah in 2020.
Physical characteristics: A single dark brown stone
Petrography: (J. Gattacceca, CEREGE) Aggregate of blocky olivine grains (grain size 800 µm) with reduced margins. Metal, originally present along olivine rims, is almost entirely replaced by terrestrial weathering products. Contains a significant amount of carbon material, likely diamonds in view of the extreme difficulty to saw the rock.
Geochemistry: Olivine Fa21.9±0.4, CaO 0.36±0.02 wt%, CrO3 0.65±0.02, FeO/MnO = 53.4±7.9 (n=4). Olivine rim Fa5.1 (n=1).
Classification: Ureilite
Specimens: Type specimen at CEREGE. Mais mass with Jean Redelsperger.

Nwa 13512 is an Aubrite meteorite discovered in Morocco near Boudnib in 2019.
I this date only 72 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.
History : Three visually-similar specimens (total weight 105 g)
found together near Boudnib, Morocco were purchased by Mohammed Hmani in December 2019.
Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and P. Carpenter, WUSL) The specimen has a mean grainsize of ~400 µm and is composed predominantly of equant grains of enstatite with subordinate sodic plagioclase and accessory altered Si-bearing kamacite, altered Cr-troilite and schreibersite.
Geochemistry: Enstatite (Fs0.2±0.0Wo0.6-0.7, N = 3), plagioclase (Ab91.4An2.6Or6.0; Ab76.4An21.4Or2.3; N = 2), kamacite (Si = 1.5 wt.%, Ni = 7.9 wt.%).
Classification: Aubrite.
Specimens: 20.5 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Mr. M. Hmani.
