Camel Donga


Achondrite, Eucrite (EUC). The Camel Donga meteorite was found in 1984 on the Nullarbor Plain of Western Australia. Many stones with a total known weight of ~30 kilograms were found. This meteorite is one of the freshest Eucrites on the market even though it is not a witnessed fall! It is known for it's glossy rich-black fusion crust, flow lines, and many oriented stones. It is also a high-metal Eucrite with metal flecks scattered throughout.

I just purchased these pieces from an old collection.

Camel Donga #1. 29.80 gram flight-oriented broken stone. This piece is simply stunning, covered with flow lines everywhere..  $1000.00

  Here is another view of Camel Donga #1. Note the flow lines that run from the right back to the left. On this specimen, where there is fusion crust, there are flow lines! About 1/3 of this specimen is broken off.
