Meteorite Details
Specimen Description
NWA 17364 is a classified LL3.10 ordinary chondrite, representing an extremely primitive and unequilibrated meteorite formed in the early solar system. This 3.25g end cut from Mali reveals a tightly packed chondritic structure with sharply defined chondrules, some reaching up to ~1 cm in size, set within a light matrix. LL3.10 material represents one of the lowest levels of thermal alteration found in ordinary chondrites, preserving original textures and mineral relationships from the earliest stages of planetary formation. Offered as a small end cut in a display-ready gem box, this specimen provides a rare opportunity to own a highly primitive meteorite with exceptional scientific significance despite its compact size.
