    Description

    This offering is for the 343gram Main-Mass of the NWA 35953 (CV3) carbonaceous chondrite.
    It is most likely paired to NWA 35952 - based upon being found in the same strewn-field, by the same person, as well as,  being classified with identical petrography and similar geochemistry.  They both "have abundant chondrules and CAIs".
    It stands-up perfectly on its flat base, displaying very well its regmaglypt-covered exterior.
