METEORITE FOR SALE: MARS SHERGOTTITE NWA 12241

Own a genuine piece of the Red Planet with this rare and captivating NWA 12241 Martian shergottite meteorite fragment. Weighing 0.688 grams, this exceptional specimen is a gabbroic orthocumulate with a stunning pale green hue and striking white plagioclase inclusions. Collected in September 2018, this meteorite is a remarkable addition to any collection, offering both scientific significance and aesthetic appeal. Its unique composition and low shock features make it a standout piece for collectors, scientists, and space enthusiasts alike.

This NWA 12241 fragment showcases a fresh and well-preserved orthocumulate texture, with approximately 15 vol.% birefringent plagioclase occurring interstitially among coarser-grained mafic silicate minerals. These include unzoned olivine and patchily zoned low-Ca and high-Ca clinopyroxene, which display very limited compositional variation. The meteorite also contains fascinating accessory phases such as Mg-merrillite, chlorapatite, ilmenite, Ti-rich chromite, Cr-rich chromite, and pyrrhotite, some of which are associated with minor pentlandite. The low shock level of this specimen is evident from the absence of optical effects in plagioclase and the complete lack of conversion to maskelynite, with only widespread microcracks in mafic silicates indicating minimal shock impact.

The pale green color and white plagioclase inclusions create a visually stunning contrast, making this meteorite not only a scientific treasure but also a beautiful display piece. Its unique mineralogy and well-preserved structure provide valuable insights into the geological history of Mars, making it a must-have for researchers and collectors alike.
