This is a large lot of slices and endcuts of unclassified NWA chondrites recovered out of Morocco. There are 22 pieces here in total. They were cut on diamond wire saw, so the cuts are straight and there are minimal saw marks. They have not been polished and they would definitely benefit from a good polishing. The endcuts have a nice wind-polished desert varnish and/or remnant fusion crust on them.

These cuts represent at least two different types of material. The lighter-colored pieces have plentiful tiny chondrules that are faint and would be more noticeable if polished. It has a modest amount of metal and those pieces are probably a L4 or L5 type. The other pieces are a darker material that has fewer chondrules, but a lot more metal. The metal-heavy pieces also have a few armored chondrules. These are likely a H5 type, based on appearances and degree of magnetic attraction. These are just my best guesses and they are unclassified.

These would be ideal for resale or gifting and you get approx. one pound (425 grams) of meteorites.
