Slight variations in colour and formation are to be expected due to the natural characteristics of Carnelian

NWA 13683 Rumuruti Chondrite Specimen NWA 13683:4 Trinitite demonstrates how extreme temperaturesDiscover an individually catalogued NWA 13683 Rumuruti Chondrite Specimen, an officially recognised Rumuruti Chondrite (R36) Genomict Breccia recovered from the Adrar region of Algeria. Rumuruti chondrites are among the rarest groups of ordinary stony meteorites, and NWA 13683 is particularly scarce, with an official total known weight of just 1,959 grams. Each specimen preserves a unique record of asteroid evolution, containing primitive chondrules,
