NWA 16454 : Polymict Ureilite

Breccia with mineral clasts up to mm. The few lithic clasts show an equilibrated texture with poikilitic texture.

Aggregates of carbon material (likely diamond in view of the extreme difficulty to cut and polish the meteorite) reach 1 mm in size and display geometric shapes. C1-like clasts to 500 µm are present.
