NWA 10214 Official Meteorite - LL3-S2 - G596-0031

Description: Hello and thank you for viewing my listing. Today you are purchasing one extremely beautiful and rare part slice specimen of NWA 10214 Chondrite LL3 Meteorite from Northwest Africa. This classification will be perhaps one of the most rare and sought after meteorites in history! This is one stunning meteorite and with a special makeup. I have found a Carbonaceous clast within the stunning matrix and I have been asked to co-author a paper on this special inclusion! Thank you Dr. Alan Rubin for the opportunity to partake in such an honorable and monumental moment in my meteorite career. The paper has been published in MAPS. There will be constant revisions as I am making most of the classification available to Dr. Rubin for continued research and study. As you will find in the published 48 pages of data in MAPS publication 12797, Dr. Rubin found my stone to be even more of a knockout! There are actually 6 or 7 separate meteorites embedded within the matrix. L5's, LL's, Carbonaceous clasts AND, the "Chimeric" clast! This clast is a NEW meteorite within itself. You must take time to read the publication, it will blow your mind! If you seriously collect meteorites, you must have this classification in your collection. NWA 10214 is better than my LL3.00 NWA 8576?! Better than Semarkona?! Bet ya! Enjoy, I will slowly be letting go of this material. I am in no hurry to flood the market, especially since it is more important for Dr. Rubin to do his work on the remaining specimens and mass. MAPS 12797 for the publication. NWA 10214 was my first co-authoring and was also featured on the cover of Meteorite Times Magazine. My catalog number is G596-0031 and weighs in at 2.30 grams and comes in a quality glass top gem case with my card of authenticity for provenance. Remember, provenance is a must when collecting meteorites, especially this one. I have designed a COA for NWA 10214, as I do with all of my classifications for provenance. The specimen you see is the exact specimen you will receive. Each card comes with catalog number, weight and my signature of authenticity. Thanks again for viewing. Cheers!
