We are a team of meteorite and fossil hunters.

We search worldwide for new and known meteorites.

Since 1995, we have mounted expeditions to Tsarev, Brahin, Kunya Urgench, Dronino, Markovka, Seymchan, Sikhote-Alin and many others in Russia and nearby.

We have also collected many meteorites from North Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the United States.

We have gathered samples of almost all types of known meteorites, including a large collection of lunar meteorites.

We are on the world market since 2000, and on eBay since 2004. The new Cometshop on eBay is formed from our old cometshop21 that had more then 500 positive feedbacks, more than 2000 good deals with 99.9% positive (before 2006).

Carbonaceous chondrite (CV3)

here is the description for the NWA 3118:

Hundreds of fragments (total weight of 5895 g) were purchased in Erfoud, Morocco in December 2003 by A. and G. Hupé. Description and classification (T. Bunch and J. Wittke, NAU): olive gray to tan in color depending on the degree of weathering. In thin section, much of the matrix has a pronounced “ripple” texture: subparallel, curvilinear thin bands of olivine grains (Fa32-36), up to 10 µm in size, enclose pod-like masses of micron to submicron Fe-rich olivine (Fa42-58), pyroxenes, sulfides and minor weathering products. Chondrules are typically <2 mm in diameter, although a few chondrules may be as large as 8 mm in diameter. A small stone was found to contain a dark inclusion measuring approximately 9 cm by 2.5 cm by 1 cm. Many types of small CAI inclusions are present and rarely exceed a few mm in diameter. Low weathering grade: no metal observed in the matrix, although some chondrules contain fresh metal. Specimens: 20.3 g, NAU; main mass, Hupé.

As our meteorite is bit differ to the original NWA 3118 it was analysed one more time.
The studies confirm CV3 classification and the meteorite have a new number NWA 6368 (but it is PROVISIONAL yet).

Here we offer an excellent lot of 2 pieces of this rare meteorite. Weight is 47.6 grams.
