£ 2 000 – 3 000
Following the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society, NWA 5974 is the 5,974th rock recovered in the Northwest African grid of the Sahara Desert to be analyzed and classified. Michael Farmer states of this meteorite: “It is one of my favorite common chondrites. Flawless, no fractures. Zero weathering. Extremely high metal. Mesmerizing to look at, imagining that the metal flecks are millions of stars set in a blue-black deep space background."
