Check out Ash Shaqqah 2!

A beautiful Lunar meteorite, classified as a Troctolitic Anorthosite.

A group of falconers discovered this fall while looking for birds along the Egyptian-Libyan border. A fairly large recovery by lunar meteorite standards, with some pieces showing some really neat inclusions when sliced!

Chondrules for daaaaaaaaayyyys!

I photographed these chondrules from samples of the Aba Panu meteorite, an L3 chondrite that was a witnessed fall in Nigeria in 2018. So many with diverse shapes, textures, and colors! Even a few blue ones in there!

Meteorites in a Honeycomb!

I thought y'all might appreciate this...

I've accumulated a lot of smaller samples in little circular gem cases and I wasn't happy with any of the display options available. So... I designed these honeycomb inserts with rails that allow them to connect. Really happy with how they turned out!

I was just playing with designs here, but I think I'm gonna make separate honeycomb clusters for chondrites, pallasites, HEDs, etc.
