Another attractive CV3, this time NWA 6870
found in May 2011 probably in Algeria. We have
several slices available.
£25
We always have plenty of affordable samples
of the famous Allende CV3. They display many
obvious chondrules in a sooty matrix with whitish
calcium-aluminium inclusions. Like most of
the carbonaceous chondrites, Allende has been
found to contain numbers of amino acids!
From
£25
NWA 5950 is an attractive CV3 that was found
in the Sahara in 2009. We have several slices
around 18g in mass.
£50
Carbonados are rare and intriguing black diamonds,
found in West Africa and Brazil. They were most
probably formed at a time before the Atlantic Basin
opened up, but compelling arguments have been
put forward for an origin on Uranus or Neptune!
Our examples are from Brazil: by far the rarer of
the two fields. Shown here at life-size.
£25
NWA 6392 was purchased from a dealer in Marrakech,
Morocco in June 2010. It has a provisional classification
of brecciated diogenite regolith. Our example has a
chunky mass of 6.3g
£40
NWA 6077 is an extraordinarily rare brachinite.
Believed at one time to originate on Mars, many
researchers are proposing that these primitive
achondrites were blasted from the molten
surface of the primordial Earth!
Our largest examples all measure around 10mm,
but we can also supply framed displays similar
to those on the lunar / martian page.
£45
Barwell is the largest and best-known meteorite
to have fallen in England. We have several samples
which are available framed or in acrylic boxes as in
the photograph. We also have similar examples of
Wold Cottage
£50
NWA 1465 is an anomalous CV3 that was found
in Western Sahara in 2001. We have several slices
around 3.5g in mass.
£40

This newly-discovered CV3 carbonaceous chondrite
was purchased in Morocco in June 2009. We have
a number of slices between 2g and 4g
£35
NWA 4967 is an Ornans-type CO3.2 carbonaceous
meteorite: it was probably found in Algeria in 2007.
Our samples measure around 30mm x 14mm, with
masses of 2.75g - 3g
£25
Murchison is a justifiably famous CM2 carbonaceous
chondrite, which fell on September 28th, 1969 near
the town of Murchison, Victoria, Australia. Many of
the claims made for this rare and attractive meteorite
are contentious, but it certainly does contain over
92 amino acids, only 19 of which are found on Earth!
The high water content (12%) suggests a cometary
origin, like the equally sought-after Tagish Lake. We
have several specimens: phone for availability.
From
£60
NWA 3118. As with many carbonaceous space
rocks, eight of the twenty amino acids found
in terrestrial life have been identified in this
meteorite. Many biologists are convinced that
this is proof that life was 'seeded' on Earth
in this way! E-mail for details!

£35
This is a beautiful .75g slice of the Kainsaz CO3.2
carbonaceous meteorite that fell in Russia in 1937.
Perfect for 'type set' collectors: a really attractive
example of this rare meteorite. Larger samples also
available: contact us for details.
£30
Tagish Lake is a C2 / CI2 carbonaceous chondrite
that many scientists believe may have originated
on the surface of a comet. It was seen falling in
British Columbia,Canada in January, 2000. Our
fragments have respectable masses of 50 - 60mg
From
£35
Almahatta Sitta is a brecciated ureilite that was
detected and tracked during its approach to the
Earth and passage through the atmosphere. We
have been fortunate enough to obtain several
small pieces of this historic fall.
£25
We have just cut more slices of
the EL3 fossil meteorite NWA 2965
These reveal the relict chondrules
that prove conclusively that it is
not an aubrite! Measuring a hefty
80mm x 50mm x 5mm, these are a
bargain at just:
£30
A small slice of NWA753, an R 3 Rumurutite
meteorite found in 2001 in the Sahara. R-chondrites
are extremely rare and this is one of the freshest
examples ever found. Others available
£35
NWA 4699 is a beautiful L/LL3 that was found in 2007
in the northern Sahara. It displays a wealth of chondrules
and has a low TKM of just 815g. Our sample has a good
surface area and a mass of 5.5g
£45
Seen falling in 1998 in the Guelmim-Es Semara
region of Morocco, the amazing Zag chondrite
appears to derive from the brecciated regolith of
an incredibly ancient parent body. Zag has been
found to contain halite crystals: these are thought
to be the result of the evaporation of salt-bearing
ice inclusions and have been dated as being older
than any previously known meteoritic material.
This sample has a mass of 12.5g, but we have
other examples.
£40
Mt Egerton is an aubrite: composed of nickel-iron
with large crystals of enstatite, it was discovered
in Western Australia in 1941. Our samples are all
individual crystals with masses just under a gram.
£45
Norton County is an aubrite: a rare achondritic
stone comprised almost totally of enstatite. This
small (.3g) sample would be a great way of adding
a piece of this rare type to your collection without
breaking the bank
£40
Howardites are brecciated achondrites that
mostly originated on the Asteroid Vesta. We
have many different examples, at a variety of
masses and prices, including NWA 2696, 1281,
and 3117 and a similar inventory of Eucrites.

With only 30 kilos available on Earth, Ureilites are
rarer than Martian meteorites! Their parent body
is unknown: they all display high carbon content,
and more excitingly, tiny particles of diamond.
These, it is believed, were produced by high
pressure shocking of the graphite matrix. We have
various sizes available.
From £35
Tatahouine is a diogenite from the asteroid
Vesta. This rare meteorite fell on June 27, 1931
at 0130 hours, about 2 1/2 mi. NE of the village
of Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia, breaking into
thousands of small fragments.This 2cm stone,
at 4.1g, is larger than most offered for sale: we
have several other similarly sized pieces too!
£90
These more typical Tatahouine fragments
have masses around 1g. A great way to acquire
a piece of Vesta without breaking the bank!
From
£15
We have many samples of the enstatite
Al Haggounia 001. First found in 2005
North East of Laayoune, Western Sahara
this sample is shown around twice actual size.
£15
Larger quantities of Al Haggounia 001 are
available, from 5g to 150g, either as large
fragments or slices
£1.00 per
gram
We have in stock a good quantity of
the EL3 fossil meteorite NWA 2965
This enstatite-rich meteorite (which has
been paired with NWA 4295) was discovered
in 2005 near El Hagounia, Western Sahara.
We have cut several slices and these show
typical glittery enstatite and dark veining.
NWA 2965 was discovered on the surface of
a saline 'playa', while other paired stones
have been found up to a metre below the
surface. Price per 5g slice:
£20
NWA 4295 is classified as an EL3 fossil meteorite.
This enstatite-rich meteorite was discovered
in an Algerian conglomerate in 2005. Our examples
display shock-veining and glittering enstatite crystals.
These stones are very rare, accounting for less than
2% of all chondrites. Available in 15g fragments at:
£35
Perhaps you might consider buying one of
our rare achondrite collections. This contains
good-sized samples of all three HED types from
the asteroid Vesta, a Lunaite, a Martian meteorite,
an Angrite that some researchers feel may have
originated on Mercury, an Aubrite, an Acapulcoite
and, finally, a Ureilite! Phenomenal value: even
if you could find examples of all nine types, you
would have to pay around £30 each!
£150
Note! Most meteorites here are shown in magnified view! Masses are given as size guides!
