Meteorite Carbonaceous Chondrite CK3

Experience the wonder of the universe with this Carbonaceous chondrite Ck3 NWA 14406 meteorite. The main mass weighs 18.9G and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

 

The meteorite displays a dark brownish interior and is composed of sharply defined separated chondrules with an apparent mean diameter of about 800 µm. Sparse CAIs are present in a matrix dominated by Ni-bearing ferroan olivine. Olivines and low-Ca pyroxene in chondrules often show strong compositional zoning. More minor phases include intermediate plagioclase, Ca-pyroxene, troilite, and pentlandite, while metal was not detected. Cr-bearing magnetite is abundant.
