8 gram slice. Eucrite-mmict TKW 816 grams. Fall not observed. Found 2012 in Morocco.John writes:8 gram specimen from my personal collection. NWA-7035 is a very unique basaltic Eucrite that is so unusual looking that many dealers were sure it was a Martian meteorite when first cut. Large feldspar lathes mixed in with the pyroxenes reminds many of a course shergottite, or even looks sort of like some of the Lunar basalts in collections today. This special HED part slice was first purchased from Greg Hupe. It was a full slice of over 20 grams. It has a beautiful polish on one side only. Click to view larger photos #1 #2 #3
