As a Shergottite, it represents basaltic igneous material from Mars, formed through volcanic processes before being ejected from the planet by a powerful impact event. Its Martian origin is supported by its classification and mineral chemistry, placing it within one of the main recognised groups of Martian meteorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"962\"\u003eSpecimens of NWA 13187 typically show a grey to dark, speckled interior with a diabasic igneous texture. Reported mineralogy includes zoned clinopyroxene and other phases consistent with Martian Shergottites, giving prepared slices and fragments a distinctive crystalline appearance. Some pieces may retain desert-weathered exterior surfaces, while cut faces reveal the internal volcanic structure more clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003eFor collectors, NWA 13187 offers a recognised Martian meteorite with strong scientific interest and relatively limited available material. Its Shergottite classification, 2019 recovery history, and clear Martian context make it appealing for collections focused on planetary meteorites, Mars material, or rare Achondrites. Each specimen represents a genuine piece of Mars, formed by volcanic activity and delivered to Earth after a journey through space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53722042564934,"sku":"MST-07\/17","price":953.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/files\/NWA1318701-1.jpg?v=1732288289","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/products\/nwa-13187-martian-shergottite-diabasic-6-26g","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
