Welcome to my Meteorite Collection.

Introduction This is some of the meteorites in my collection. Condrites Unknown NWA meteorites This is the endcut of the first meteorite I cut. It have two nice condrules that stands out from the rest. (collection id: GA00001-a) If I would chanse a guess this is an NWA 968 individual. This slice is part of the same meteorite as above. The bottom left condrule is full of metal even though it doesn't show up so clearly on the scan. There are also a brass yellow grain surrounded by metal in the upper right corner. (collection id: GA00001-b) This meteorite is something else. Also an NWA of unknown locality. Originally bought in Risini in Morocco. It is dark brown and fractured with small holes and cavities. The color and fractures probably comes from weathering processes. There are a number of dark black veins running in general in the same direction. There are also one pich black but well defined condrule and many metal grains scattered evenly in the matrix. I'm going to polish the surface better and make a better scan later on, this is to be considered a work in progress. The lighter areas are raw cutted edge without any polish. (collection id: GA00002-a) This is a nice flight oriented meteorite. On the picture is the leading edge with a nice crust. (collection id: GA00003) Same as above but top side. (collection id: GA00003) Same as above, showing the lip. It is clearly visible around half of the meteorite. (collection id: GA00003) If I would chanse a guess this is also an NWA 968 individual. It's a noname NWA individual in any case, bought initially in Risini, Marocco. An interesting slice with a gray fragment and one white fragment. To the right of the white fragment there is a gray chondrule that looks soft. I think the striation is caused by the sawblade. I will do some more polishing later. Other minerals in this meteorite is metal and some brass colored mineral that I think is the sulphide troilite. (collection id: GA00004-b) Surprise! I cut this ordinary looking meteorite and to my surprise there were a large white inclusion in it. The contrast to the rest of the meteorite is striking. The rest of the meteorite is very dark with areas almost black. Possibly from shock melting. Metal and troilite is present in similar amounts. Bought from Dean Bessey. (collection id: GA00011) Same as above, close up showing the white inclusion. Width of the inclusion 5mm. (collection id: GA00011) Stony Iron Pallasites This is a nice piece of the Brahin meteorite with some original crust. Part of a full slice. (collection id: GA00005) Iron A flight oriented Sikhote Alin meteorite. Some patches of original crust still sticks to the surface. It's possible to see a fine pattern of flowlines in the surface. Link to a website about the Sikhote-Alin. (collection id: GA00006) A nice 9 kg Campo del Cielo has landed in my sofa. Link to a website about the Campo del Cielo. (collection id: GA00009) Nantan is a classical meteorite with a rumor about being a rustbucket. It is not uncommon that they totally disintegrate in a year or two. Nantan was observed when it fell in 1516 but the first known findings of this fall were in the 20'th century. This specimen was purchased in januari 2005. Link to a website about the Nantan. (collection id: GA00010) Acondrites This is a small slice of a recrystallised hedrite from the meteor Vesta. A scientific article about the Vesta like meteor family. (collection id: GA00008) Other related objects Tektites Nice full individual of the Indochinite tektite. 52.9 g. Bought from the Hupe collection. Indochinites were formed in a meteorite event 700.000 years ago. Read more here. (collection id: GA00007) Meteorite homepage. To my homepage.
