The total mass of recovered fragments is approximately 2 tons, with individual samples ranging from a few grams to over 20 kilograms. This meteorite is unique because it is a breccia, meaning it is composed of fragments of various types of chondrites and contains chondrules, metallic particles, and other inclusions. Due to wind erosion, the fusion crust on many samples has been removed or smoothed, resulting in deep erosion marks on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027664703813,"sku":"MENW10","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/28181-2_meteorite-nwa-869---1-16g---northwest-africa.jpg?v=1779377547"},{"product_id":"lunar-meteorite-nwa-15629-11g-northwest-africa-menwm06","title":"Lunar meteorite NWA 15629 – 1.1g – Northwest Africa - MENWM06","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Lunar – feldspathic\/basaltic breccia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Northwest Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.1g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 23 x 14 x 2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of discovery: 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown total weight: 3.4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: slice - Polished on one size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNWA 15629 – lunar mingled feldspathic\/basaltic breccia\nNWA 15629 is a lunar meteorite found in 2022 in Northwest Africa and officially classified two years later.

Mineralogical composition and origin Mineralogically, NWA 17865 is composed of approximately 80% anorthitic plagioclase and approximately 20% olivine. Pyroxene is present only in small quantities. The olivine is very fine and is embedded in a feldspar-rich matrix dominated by plagioclase. The rock was fractured and partially melted during a strong impact on the Moon's surface.

It was discovered in March 2013 in Saguia el Hamra, Western Sahara. The total mass of all recovered fragments is approximately 20 kilograms. Diogenites, including NWA 7831, are deep-seated igneous rocks that formed beneath the surface of Vesta, one of the largest objects in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Vesta is considered a protoplanet with a differentiated planetary structure, meaning it has a core, mantle, and crust, similar to terrestrial planets.

It was discovered in March 2013 in Saguia el Hamra, Western Sahara. The total mass of all recovered fragments is approximately 20 kilograms. Diogenites, including NWA 7831, are deep igneous rocks that formed beneath the surface of Vesta, one of the largest objects in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Vesta is considered a protoplanet with a differentiated planetary structure, meaning it has a core, mantle, and crust, similar to terrestrial planets. Diogenites contain high amounts of pyroxene, a mineral rich in iron and magnesium, and often include minor amounts of olivine and plagioclase. NWA 7831 is particularly known for its composition, which includes evident yellowish-green orthopyroxene crystals. This mineral is relatively rare in meteorites, and its presence suggests specific crystallization conditions that occurred deep within Vesta's mantle.
