AML23/0903
Only 2% Meteorites falling to earth are Enstatite chondrite
Thin section TS439 Examination of a cut section shows radial pyroxene chondrules.
Up to 1.2 mm in diameter. The matrix is dominated by orthopyroxene and
Plagiocale appears incidentally, the pyroxene grains in the matrix measure up to 100m microns.
The pyroxene in the chondrules is elongated and prismatic. Sulphates and oxides appear at the
Edges of the grains, residues of environmental alteration. There are also minor daubréelite, kamacite and sulphides. The analysed sample is petrographically similar to NWA 7401,
Enstatite Chondrite EL-melt rock.
Meteorite Source
South East of Dakhla; located in the Western Sahara Desert, Morocco. Latitude and longitude coordinates for Dakhla are: 30°24'38.56"N, 9°33'20.59"W.
Meteorites were found in this area between Imlili, Aousserd and Tichla.
We visited Morocco in 2017 and visited areas where meteorites were found, but they were extremely difficult to find. In several hours we only found one small meteorite. Two images enclosed when we went fossicking for meteorites.

Quick shipping with FedEx to the US. It was well packaged. The one I received did have a small crack and chip in the lip, but stuff like that is expected with a natural material like this. I'm happy with my purchase.
