Specimen Description
NWA 17920 is a classified CK6 carbonaceous chondrite, part of the CK clan of meteorites formed in the early solar system. This 28.53g full slice of NWA 17920 displays a well-developed, recrystallized texture typical of CK-type meteorites, reflecting thermal metamorphism on its parent body. CK chondrites are known for their dark, oxidized matrix and reduced metal content compared to other carbonaceous groups. The polished face reveals a dense, fine-grained structure with subdued chondrule definition, characteristic of type 6 metamorphism. As an officially classified carbonaceous chondrite, this specimen represents a more evolved member of the carbonaceous family, combining rarity with strong scientific significance. Offered as a complete slice with clean preparation, this piece is ideal for collectors seeking a classified carbonaceous specimen with distinctive mineralogy and display presence.
