NWA 17489 CO3.0 rare 9.7 g Mesosiderite Scientific studies indicate that brachinites

Scientific studies indicate that brachinites originate from multiple asteroid parent bodies

resulting in well-equilibrated minerals while retaining visible chondrule textures

with most pieces showing distinctive metallic luster and a thin weathering rind

Visible minerals include low-Ca pyroxene and plagioclase along with iron-nickel metal phases such as kamacite and taenite
