NWA 998 Mars Meteorite

 

Northwest Africa 998

the unique orthopyroxene-bearing nakhlite meteorite from the Planet Marss

 

NWA 998 is one of the most scientifically important Martian Meteorites ever found on earth:

  • NWA 998 is an ankeritic carbonate meteorite.  Only one other meteorite has been described in this  manner ---the famous ALH84001 which is unavailable to private collectors.

  • NWA 998 contains water bearing minerals.  Think about it - ACTUAL MICROSCOPIC  MARTIAN WATER trapped in a mineral of this meteorite!!!

  • NWA 998 is a UNIQUE Orthopyroxene bearing Nakhlite like no other Nakhlite available.

  • NWA 998  is believed to have been altered on Mars by EXTRATERRESTRIAL weathering.

  • NWA 998  is currently being studied by no less than 5 prominent institutions in Europe and North America.  Scientifically, this is the HOTTEST meteorite in the world.

  • All current scientific information on NWA 998 can be found at the following link - Click  Here

NWA 998 weighed only one pound when it was found.  Some material was lost in cutting and a significant amount has been set aside for scientific research.  This leaves a very limited amount of NWA 998 available for collectors.

Vials of dust and small fragments are available at a reduced price.   If you have access to a surface viewing microscope you can clearly see the green and brown crystals just like on the surface of the larger fragments.  This vial contains .010 grams. This is a very popular way to own and view this meteorite. 

 

Specimen comes with Certificate of Authenticity and ID Card

 

I ship the same day I receive payment. Thank You and Good Luck!!! --- JIM BID WITH CONFIDENCE

SORRY, NO BIDDERS FROM ITALY ACCEPTED:  Your postal and customs services have serious problems.  Many packages are tied up for weeks or months if delivered at all.  PLEASE DO NOT BID.

I have been collecting meteorites for nearly 20 years and fully guarantee the authenticity of every meteorite I sell.
