Dear List Members,

today I would like to introduce a very special meteorite that certainly
belongs to the rarest meteorite ever found. NWA 7835 - a unique,
harzburgitic, ungrouped achondrite. The appearance of the rock reminds on
some olivine-phyric Martian shergottites. It is probably the first find of
such a meteorite, and it is probably "one of a kind". A very fresh meteorite
find with a beautiful shiny fusion crust. NWA 7835 is a "must" for any
collector of extremely rare and exotic meteorites. In terms of rarity, this
meteorite is on par with other unique meteorites from NWA, like NWA 7325,
NWA 7034, NWA 011.

Paired finds are not known. Even after extensive search on the finding site
(since 2013),
no further meteorites were found. The following pieces is all that is
available of NWA 7835.

Show.
