These stone METEORITES were found in the desert in Northern Africa..
You are bidding for one of the uncut and solid meteorite as seen in the photo. They are about 3-5 grams each. I'll be sending a free 3.49 booklet and info card all about NWA meteorites.
These specimens are nice pieces with great character from the DEAN BESSEY collection out of Glenfield Auckland, New Zealand..
This Meteorite comes with a book and an infomation card about the meteorite also. So I'll be sending 3 items for your NWA collection...
WHAT IS A NWA METEORITE? Meteorites are named after where they fell or were found. So if a meteorite fell near the town of Zagami Nigeria its name is Zagami. if it fell near Ensisheim germany its name is Ensisheim and if you buy a piece of that meteorite you buy it using that name. Usually this naming system works well but over the past 5 or 6 years people have discovered you can find meteorites relitively easy in deserts. This includes poor Sahara desert nomads used to earning $200 a year who now all of a sudden can get tens of thousands of dollars for a good meteorite find.So it seems that pretty much everybody who lives in the Sahara are on the lookout for meteorites. Worthless weathering away rocks strewn thoughout the desert is now being saved for the world because crazy foreigners like me will pay good money for these stones.
But you dont know where the nomads found these meteorites - so you cant give them a place name. Just from somewhere in the desert which stretches for thousands of miles. But buyers and sellers congregate in Morocco and thats where the meteorites changes hands. That is in North western africa (Or NWA for short). Since there are thousands of meteorites the very first NWA meteorite was named NWA001 (Which incidently NWA001 is a number from one of my meteorites - so I have been involved in NWA meteorites for quite a while). The next meteorite is named NWA002 ect up to how ever high the numbers will go - or until the 40,000 years of meteorite falls get hunted out. --- Dean Bessey
