Hello and thank you for viewing my listing. Today you are purchasing one gorgeous end cut specimen of NWA 13200 Official L3 Chondrite Meteorite from Northwest Africa. Beautiful specimen with great details and very collectable. L3's are highly sought after for their beautiful matrix of abundant chondrules, low metal and extreme age. Below is the data for my classification. Excellent addition to your collection.

My catalog number is G724-0215 and weighs in at 1.72 grams and comes with my card of authenticity for provenance. Remember, provenance is a must when collecting meteorites. I have designed a COA for NWA 13200, as I do with all of my classifications for provenance. The specimen you see pictured is the exact specimen you will receive. Each card comes with catalog number, weight and my signature of authenticity. Thanks again for viewing. Cheers!

Thanks again for viewing and my shipping is like this, the first is usually only $4.79 and .50 cents for each additional item, unless over 60 grams, then 1.00 per item. Everyone is given the opportunity to shop for two full weeks without ever exceeding 10.00 shipping, no matter how many you win or buy over the two-week period, even earth stones! Cheers and thanks again for stopping by.
