UNCLASSIFIED NWA CHONDRITE METEORITES FOR SALE
Unclassified ordinary NWA (Northwest Africa) meteorites are a diverse group of space rocks that have landed in the vast desert regions of Northwest Africa. These meteorites are primarily composed of silicate minerals, including olivine and pyroxene, along with metallic iron and nickel. They fall under the broader category of ordinary chondrites, which are characterized by their chondrules—small, round particles that formed during the early solar system.
Due to their unclassified nature, these meteorites often lack specific designation, making them intriguing specimens for both collectors and researchers. Each piece is unique, showcasing a variety of textures and mineral compositions, often reflecting the conditions of their formation. The exterior typically features a fusion crust—a thin, glassy layer formed during atmospheric entry, while the interior reveals a mix of fine-grained matrix and distinct chondrules.
