Welcome to my image album of planetary meteorites from Bruno's collection. Images taken at his room at the Inn Suites during the 2009 Tucson Gem & Mineral Show.

NWA 2737 - "Diderot"
TKW = 611 gr
This is close to TKW of Chassigny.
Scientists found that, unlike Chassigny, NWA 2737 was strongly
shocked; the pressure was so high that it turned the olivine black.
Such a deformation in olivine was never observed before.
