Northwest Africa 869 Meteorite | L3–6 Regolith Breccia

Found in Northwest Africa in 2000, the NWA 869 meteorite is a rare L3–6 ordinary chondrite—a regolith breccia composed of mixed metamorphic types. It’s sometimes referred to as a Meteorite Rosetta Stone for its ability to reveal complex histories from multiple parent bodies in a single meteorite specimen.

Formed by repeated asteroid impacts, this meteorite fuses fragments from diverse sources—L3 to L6—into one rock. The result is a collision-forged mosaic of textures, chondrules, and mineral inclusions shaped by solar system events over billions of years.

Story of the Wild Cosmos in a Meteorite

Collectors value NWA 869 not just for its beauty but for its story: a decoded snapshot of ancient space weathering, asteroid collisions, and planetary evolution—all locked inside one extraordinary meteorite.

This L3-6 type meteorite is composed of chondrules and fragments from ancient meteorites, lending it a unique blend of colors and textures. Its extraordinary beauty and scientific significance have made it a very popular choice for jewelry and a coveted specimen for collectors.

A Distinctive "?" Feature in this NWA 869 Meteorite

This pendant showcases natural characteristics and cosmic energy frozen in time — with a natural "?" question mark as an incredible feature! A true statement for stargazers, collectors, and those drawn to rare Earth materials. This signature mark, combined with a mix of chondrules, colors, and metallic flakes, makes this jewelry truly one-of-a-kind!

A Journey from the Asteroid Belt to Earth

Originating from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the NWA 869 meteorite has endured countless impacts before reaching Earth. Its journey through space spanned millions of years until it finally landed near Tindouf, Algeria. Since then, it has been extensively studied for its scientific and aesthetic qualities, making it a remarkable piece of cosmic history to wear and treasure.
