Each specimen is provided in a solid glass display case and the entire lot is grouped and protected in a presentation box with a resealable lid (13x13x2.5 cm). Total weight of the set: 180 g. Notes: Meteorites NWA6451 and NWA7889 have been analyzed and classified for me by Professors A. Irving and S. Kuehner of the U.W.S. (University of Washington State); NWA6452 has been analyzed and classified for me by Professor A.N. Krot of the University of Hawaii. These meteorites are interesting and extraordinarily rare first of all because their total recovered weight (TKW) is particularly low, but also because as the “discoverer,” I hold the entire mass, making it almost impossible for you to procure them elsewhere. These are Alien Rocks exclusivities. These 14 meteorites all come from my private collection started in 1991 and are all accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Shop with confidence, I’ve been collecting meteorites for over 35 years and I am member #7669 of the IMCA (International Meteorite Collector Association) and of the PSF (Planetary Studies Foundation). INTERESTING! : Take advantage of the opportunity as I am gradually reorganizing my collection, which still includes several hundred specimens... It’s too much and I want to significantly reduce this number, which is why I gathered here these very interesting small fragments. ===> Very low reserve price! Alien Rocks Meteorites – The Alexandre Debienne Meteorite Collection since 1991!
