NWA 2932 (Northwest Africa) Mesosiderite (stone) - found 2005
A beautiful example of a mesosiderite, containing large, spherical metal nodules and an abundance of nickel-iron metal flake. Mesosiderites are produced in the collision between two asteroids, resulting in the mixing of their stone and iron contents.
This specimen has been expertly prepared and provides maximum surface area to weight ratio.
