Dronino is a unique ungrouped iron meteorite. It is
characterised by it's unusual troilite inclusions which run
right throughout this meteorite. Please note that this photo
is an old one and this meteorite now has a layer of surface
rust. I purchased this with the intent of slicing as it is a
perfect shape and the troilite inclusions are oriented
perfectly in this loaf shape for it. However, I have not
been able to find anyone local to slice it so I am offering
it for sale. Once it is sliced, it should be much more easy
to stabilise. If someone wants to slice it, I can also
discuss offers in someone wants to return any prepared
material. -

Taza
(or officially known as NWA 859) was found in Morocco in 2000.
It is an Iron meteorite classified as an Ungrouped Plessitic
Octahedrite. This specimen appears to be an oriented or heavily
flight marked individual which has undergone severe
shear/shock forces. The first and most obvious feature of
this piece is the highly unusual ridge along one side. There
are flow lines still in the crust along the sides of the
ridge and it is obvious that the metal was flowing back in
that direction. The only fragmented piece of Taza that I
have ever personally seen. More information about this piece
is available
here. -

The Gao-Guenie meteorite fell on March 5th, 1960 at 5:00pm local
time. The fall occurred over an area which was formerly called
Upper Volta in Africa. This meteorite was classified as an
Ordinary Chondrite, H5. One of the more interesting factors to
come from this fall was the discovery of Impact Melts in some of
the pieces (less than 1%). This is an extremely rare thing to
find among such a large number of normal stones. -

NWA 1287 is a truly unique chondrite. There was quite an
interest in this meteorite when it was released several years
ago as no one could understand how this it was classified as a
type-6. I have still not seen another H-Chondrite like this one
since. I purchased several slices of this meteorite and this is
the first time I have offered one for sale. It is characterised
by a huge amount of visible iron and large relict chondrules set
in a breccia of golden-brown and black. The slice is ringed by
desert polished black fusion crust. -
