NWA 7822 Ungrouped Achondrite Meteorite
NWA 7822 in an unusual 'dunitic' Ungrouped Achondrite meteorite that is almost entirely made up of olivine. It was discovered in the Sahara desert in late 2012 and subsequently purchased at the 2013 Tucson Mineral Show.
The single stone weighing just 45.8 grams and almost completely covered in shiny black fusion crust has similar dunitic olivine mineral signatures to the Eagle Station pallasite, and oxygen isotope compositions are comparable to both CV and Eagle Station.
