Achondrite-ung TKW 218 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased July 2021 from a dealer in Agadir, Morocco. Ziyao writes:Classification: Achondrite (ungrouped, ultramafic, brachinite-like). The specimen differs from true brachinites (like Brachina) in having orthopyroxene instead of augite as the dominant pyroxene phase. The absence of plagioclase precludes this specimen from being an LL7 chondrite. Main Mass ：Ziyao Wang Click to view larger photos #1 #2 #3 #4 #5
