NWA North West African Meteorites

Northwest African (NWA) meteorites are a diverse, accessible, and affordable group of space rocks discovered across the vast Sahara Desert. These meteorites are often found by local nomads, including berber tribesmen, and later verified by scientific labs, making them some of the most affordable and widely available meteorites for collectors. NWA meteorites include a variety of types—stony, iron, and even rare lunar and Martian specimens—many of which remain unclassified due to their abundance and the challenges of precise identification.

What makes NWA meteorites particularly intriguing is their direct connection to the early solar system. Each specimen features a glossy fusion crust formed during its fiery descent through Earth’s atmosphere, and the interior is composed of ancient grains that tell the story of planetary formation. Holding an NWA meteorite is like grasping a fragment of cosmic history, making them perfect for anyone eager to start a meteorite collection or simply marvel at the wonders of space.
