This is a fragment of the very rare NWA 2629 meteorite. This meteorite was found in 2004. It was a fragmented stone, with a total weight of only 244 grams. I bought it from a Moroccan meteorite dealer in Munich Germany. .
This meteorite is a very rare type of achondrite, an Olivine Diogenite (ADIO). The Diogenites are basically formed in the upper crustal area of the Asteroid Vesta. The difference between this new class of Olivine-Diogenites and the normal Diogenites is that these are believed to have formed much deeper down.
This specimen is a fresh fragment that weighs 0.565 gram. It is a beautiful and very rare addition to any meteorite collection.
The cube in the photo measures 1 cm. It is for measurement purposes only and not included in the auction.
I am a meteorite dealer and fully gaurantee the authenticity of every meteorite and tektite specimen I sell.
Be sure to see me in the March 1999 issue of the Smithsonian Magazine, I am featured in an article about meteorite hunters!
I am also featured in Fortune Small Business magazine. Fortune Small Business Magazine
