IF they were lunaites they'd be worth 10x their weight in gold. [Caveat emptor].

Subdivision of meteorite are called primitive achondrites. Something between chondrites and achondrites but retaining some chondritic properties,

Sawn and polished face of a shocked rock... am i wrong?

Hi everyone, back after some time...I asked this "What does a primitive achondrite look like?" only for eduction purpose but  No one could actually  answered back....Or bothered to answer.
Let me tell you if what is the answer, meteorites from my collection, all photos are taken under bright daylight, colors may vary....all 3 images of different primitive achondrites....Black contraction cracked  one is the most difficult to find rather than other two PAC's..Hope you'll like these images ;)

This is what common fusion crusted PAC meteorites look like...Not always contraction cracked though...

Antiquarian, your images are fascinating, thanks for posting them, but for those of us who know very little about meteorites a bit more accompanying information would be a great help.

Thanks Bill, i'm from Lahore and  all meteorites that i own are collected from different parts of Punjab Pakistan,
In the quest of finding Lodranites made me a meteorite PAC researcher and hunter too :)
If any other type of info you want me to share, your most welcome to ask.
P.S. Only problem in this forum is that if i want to show some exclusive stuff i have to ask for it.....And that does not work sometimes, but i will figure that out too.

Regards
