NWA 2841, Unequilibrated H3.9 Chondrite, Micromount


NWA 2841 is an meteorite from the early-to-middle period of the Saharan Gold Rush. It was recovered prior to 2004 and was acquired from a Moroccan dealer in Erfoud Morocco. It was classified by Dr. Ted Bunch at NAU and was determined to be a moderately-shocked and unequilibrated H3.9 chondrite. This is one of those earlier obscure NWA localities that is rarely seen on the collector market. These lower numbered NWA meteorites were introduced onto the market over a decade ago and they were long ago absorbed into collections. They only reappear on the market when a collector sells a specimen, or a dealer releases old stocks.
