The Center of Al Bir Lahlou 001

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Center of Al Bir Lahlou: What a celestial beauty! A very unusual new discovery, not matched to any other known meteorite.

It is classified as a Ungrouped achondrite, norite, with a "cumulate intermingling of cream-colored plagioclase grains and vivid-green pyroxene grains. This meteorite contains approximately 60% plagioclase, 35% low-Ca pyroxene. Olivine was observed as small (~100 μm) inclusions in pyroxene. Metal is nearly pure iron with trace amounts of cobalt -- nickel was barely detectable with the microprobe."

I just procured this 122g central slice, ~6x7" Curious if there is any more info on it out there.
