Buzzard Coulee is one of the newest extraterrestrial visitors to our planet. A massive fireball was observed across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada November 20, 2008. We traveled to the strewnfield in April 2009 and recovered a number of stones. After a lengthy permit process, we are the first to have this material available in the United States. All our samples were legally exported and will come with a copy of the export documentation and a special edition signed 8 x 10 photo. See all our specimens of Buzzard Coulee for sale >>>

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.

CHERGACH (AKA MALI) – A WITNESSED FALL

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 revised to Chergach, after the nearby town of Erg Chech. These rich black stones are among the most attractive fusion-crusted meteorites available on the collectors' market today; some of the freshest fusion crust I've ever seen.

COVERT, KANSAS: AN IMPORTANT NEW ACQUISITION
H5 Ordinary Chondrite, Covert, Kansas. Found 1896.
This historic stone meteorite was recognized in 1929 by pioneering meteorite researcher H.H. Nininger. A search was conducted and a total of ten meteorites were recovered from the area. Some had been used by locals as door stops, weights, and fill for a concrete floor. Aerolite Meteorites recently acquired a large mass from a prominent old collection and had it sliced and prepared by one of our favorite prep artists. These gorgeous slices display a wealth of metal flecks in a velvety night sky matrix. We requested only one side be fully polished while the other was left untreated, thereby clearly showing the brecciation in this fascinating meteorite. Some of the finest stone slices we've ever offered for sale.

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.

Unclassified Northwest Africa (NWA) chondrites. These weathered fragments have not been sorted or classified, but they are all genuine stone meteorites and make great science gifts for kids or students. Only $0.20/gram! Just let us know if you'd like large or small pieces, or a mix.

Wiluna is a very rare witnessed fall Australian chondrite, almost never seen in the marketplace. A large fall produced hundreds of stones in a remote area of Western Australia in 1967. Most of the stones recovered were quite small, and the vast majority ended up in Australian meteorite collections. These specimens came directly from one of my best contacts in Australia and I am thrilled to be able to offer them on Aerolite. All stones have official export permits from Australia.
