[meteorite-list] AD: Special - NWA 7603, Enstatite Achondrite

[Stefan Ralew]

Dear List Members,

today I would like to continue to present some extremely rare and exotic 
meteorites.

NWA 7603, an enstatite achondrite with a Tkw of only 126 g.

Enstatite achondrites are a extremely rare class of meteorites with only 6 
approved meteorites of this type listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin. The 
total weight of all 6 enstatite achondrites together is less than 1 kg, they 
are thus rarer than meteorites from Mars and the Moon!
In the Meteoritical Bulletin they are described as followed:
„An enstatite-rich achondrite that has not yet been classified into a 
group."

NWA 7603 is a very beautiful meteorite, it is a hard rock which can be 
polished very well. Iron metal is well preserved and visible.
The following pieces is all that is available of NWA 7603. Please take a 
look under the following link if your are interested.
