NWA Chondrite Meteorite

Most of our North West Africa (NWA) meteorites are Chondrites: stony (non-metallic) meteorites that have not been modified due to melting or differentiation of the parent body. These specimens are from areas such as Morocco, the Sahara desert, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Libya, plus a few others.

Many meteorites fall in the same areas - where there is one meteorite, there is often many. This is why the meteorite community came up with the NWA designation for these "unclassified" meteorites. It protects the finders from having to reveal the locations of their finds, yet still allows collectors to have a NWA meteorite. "Unclassified" does not mean "Unverified" - in fact, each NWA meteorite goes through a great deal of scrutiny and testing before it is officially classified and sold as a meteorite.

Exposure to water and other chemicals, such as cleaning products or aerosols, may damage the meteorite or cause it to rust over time. If you polish the meteorite, use a dry cloth only, or an air duster that does not contain any disinfectant or other chemicals.
