Exqusite Silicated-Iron-NWA 2680 (prov.)! NWA 2680 is a gorgeous, nickel-rich silicated IAB-sLH, finest octahedrite (Off) from the Saharan desert. The final analysis show that this is a rare, member of the IAB-related meteorites. It is not closely related to any other IAB and it is distinguished by its high Cu and relativley high Ni concentrations. This visually stunning meteorite has pools of melted troilite filled with clasts of olivine and primitive achondrites! It has a beautiful, delicate finest octahedrite etch pattern that is simply amazing! This is a really spectacular, stable meteorite with a nickel content of 13.7%, allowing it to take a mirror-like polish. The TKW is unknown, but probably very low in the 15-20 kg range. Of this, the majority of pieces are very small. Pieces large enough to slice are extremely rare. The final elemental composition, as determined by replicate analysis by UCLA is: Cr 92 µg/g , Co 5.36 mg/g, Ni 136.6 mg/g, Cu 548 µg/g, Ga 24.3 µg/g, As 19.3 µg/g, Ir 2.04 µg/g, Au 1.73 µg/g.
