ALLENDE
CV3.2 Witnessed fall, Chihuahua, Mexico. February 8, 1969
Allende is one of the most fascinating and sought-after meteorites. It is a very rare witnessed fall carbonaceous chondrite, is rich in carbon, exhibits good fusion crust, and also contains microscopic diamonds! Chondrules and calcium-rich inclusions (CAIs) in the Allende meteorite are 4.6 billion years old, making them the oldest known matter in existence on earth—predating the formation of our own planet and even our solar system. Due to the bold recovery work of the late Dr. Elbert King of NASA's Lunar Receiving Lab, Allende is often described as "the best studied meteorite in history."

CARANCAS
H4-5 chondrite  Witnessed fall. Puno, Peru, September 15, 2007
Carancas is one of the newest extraterrestrial visitors to our planet. A large fireball was seen and the resulting meteorite impacted in rural Peru, close to Lake Titicaca, forming a substantial crater. Eyewitnesses described a powerful shockwave which caused some damage to houses, and reportedly knocked a local farmer to the ground. We are one of the very few providers of this rare material!  More >>>

CAMEL DONGA
Eucrite, achondrite
Camel Donga is a very rare eucrite, found in a remote strewnfield in Western Australia. Most recovered stones are quite small, and the fragile nature of eucrites means many recovered stones were broken on impact. Note the extremely shiny black fusion crust, reminiscent of freshly applied enamel paint. Camel Donga is one of the very few meteorites that will not stick to a magnet, as eucrites contain little or no metal.

CAMEL DONGA
Western Australia   Found 1984
7.4 grams  Complete fusion-crusted individual

A stunning complete stone with perfect fusion crust that is so shiny it looks like sprayed-on enamel paint. This actual specimen was featured in Meteorwritings on Geology.com

CHERGACH (AKA MALI) – A WITNESSED FALL
Stone meteorite, chondrite, classification pending
A new meteorite fall was reported in the Republic of Mali in Western Africa in June or July of 2007, making this stone one of the most recent meteorite arrivals on earth. It is a very fresh fall with extremely rich, black fusion crust. The first specimens were tentatively named Mali, but the name has been tentatively revised to Chergach (provisional), after the nearby town of Erg Chech. Classification on this stone is pending, but it is clearly a brecciated chondrite and may be an impact melt. This magnificent stone is among the most attractive fusion-crusted meteorites available on the collectors' market today; some of the freshest fusion crust I've ever seen.

GOLD BASIN, ARIZONA
Ancient stone meteorites from the famous Arizona strewnfield
In 1995 an Arizona gold prospector, Jim Kriegh, discovered ancient stone meteorites in Mohave County, AZ. His friend Twink Monrad joined him in the hunt and they spent years carefully documenting their finds. Gold Basin has been described as "one of best mapped strewnfields in history." Jim passed away in 2007 and some of these collectible Arizona meteorites were found personally by the Kriegh/Monrad team in the late 1990s.

LABENNE SAHARA NUMBERED STONES
Historic pre-NWA hot desert meteorites with original field numbers
During the mid-to-late 1990s the French meteorite hunting family Labenne started finding stone meteorites in the arid deserts of Northwest Africa. These finds were made years before the NWA classification system was adopted, and were some of the very first Sahara finds. Each carries a unique hand painted field number. For example "99053" was the 53rd meteorite found during the 1999 expedition. Several have nice polished windows. Very collectible!

MILLBILLILLIE – A WITNESSED FALL
Stone meteorite, polymict eucrite (EUC)
Not only is Millbillillie a very rare witnessed-fall eucrite, it is also one of the most visually appealing meteorites available to collectors. Eucrites are achondrites (stone meteorites without chondrules) — volcanic rock from other worlds, and comprised largely of silicate minerals. Millbillillie meteorites are light in weight, similar to terrestrial pumice, so even a specimen as modest as 6 or 7 grams can still be enjoyed and studied without magnification. Millbillillies typically exhibit a dazzling color combination: glossy black fusion crust mixed with bright orange Australian desert soil which adhered to the crust, producing a color contrast of unique and striking beauty.

The afternoon fall occurred in October of 1960, and was witnessed by only two men, near the town of Wiluna in Western Australia. It was ten years until the first stone was found. These magnificent meteorites were acquired by a colleague of mine directly from the finder in Australia. They exhibit very distinct orientation, complete fusion crust, contraction cracks, rollover lips, and some of the most highly defined flow lines I have ever seen. Amazing stones every one.

NORTHWEST AFRICAN UNCLASSIFIED CHONDRITES – "NWA XXX"
Stone Meteorite (H and L Chondrites)
These stone meteorites were found in the Saharan Desert in Northwest Africa, likely by nomads. In order to classify them it would be necessary to cut off a section for analysis. Although they are exceedingly rare when compared to terrestrial rocks, these are the most abundant type of meteorite and are referred to as "common chondrites." H and L (designating the amount of metal contained) type chondrites have been already extensively studied, and so these attractive stones have been left intact. Composed largely of spherical grain-like silicate chondrules, these stone meteorites were likely once part of the crust of a planet or large asteroid. Some academics believe that chondrules are older than the solar system!

Good quality complete stones likes those pictured below are very difficult to obtain. Most specimens found in the Sahara today, are broken and weathered fragments.

NWA XXX
Unclassified chondrites  Found Sahara Desert
Fragments, various sizes 5 grams to 200 grams
