KENNA, New Mexico
A single stone was found
North and East of Kenna in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, about 1972.
Kenna is a rare classification of meteorite, a Urellite. Kenna,
and other Urellites, are Olivine-pigeonite achondrites with carbon in
the form of graphite and contain microscopic diamonds. Some meteorite
scientists theorize that Kenna may have originated from a source in the orbit of Mercury, or
possibly Mercury itself. Whatever the source, Kenna is a beautiful
meteorite with a bluish cast to the matrix. Seldom available in the meteorite market, here is an opportunity to acquire an excellent
specimen from a classic location.
