NWA 853

NWA 853, Er Rachidia, Morocco
Purchased March 6, 2001
Achondrite Ureilite, 6g
A single piece of 720g was found. Ureilites are composed of the pyroxene pigeonite and olivine in a carbon-rich matrix and are often shocked enough to contain diamonds. This specimen shows a carbon fiber-like refraction from the graphite under angled lighting.
