Certified Ordinary Chondrite L6/7 S5 S3 Moroccan meteorite.
Thie meteorite BE1083 is so interesting. It has two distinct lithologies, one of them is L6, and other one is L7, highly crystallized. Really beautiful.
There are no visible chondrules, and only few relict chondrules.
There are patches of melted material with glassy mesostasis and thick melt veins crosscutting the rock and with metal content about 10% volume.
Meteorite Source
South East of Dakhla; located in the Western Sahara Desert, Morocco. Latitude and longitude coordinates for Dakhla are: 30°24'38.56"N, 9°33'20.59"W.
Meteorites were found in this area between Imlili, Aousserd and Tichla.
We visited Morocco in 2017 and visited areas where meteorites were found, but they were extremely difficult to find. In several hours we only found one small meteorite. Two images enclosed when we went fossicking for meteorites.
Please copy and paste link to view our trip and recommend you add to your bucket list fossil tours!

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
