Description : I am pleased to offer this complete and oriented HED meteorite, likely an eucrite, displaying a beautiful glossy black fusion crust on one face. This specimen represents a remarkable example of an achondritic meteorite belonging to the HED group (howardites, eucrites, and diogenites), believed to originate from asteroid Vesta. Its oriented shape reflects its stable flight through the atmosphere, while the preserved, lustrous fusion crust testifies to the intense heat generated during atmospheric entry. The interior matrix is light-colored and finely speckled with dark minerals, clearly visible in the photographs. Notably, the specimen is non-magnetic, consistent with its achondritic nature. A genuine and visually striking HED meteorite, ideal for collectors seeking material linked to one of the largest differentiated bodies in the asteroid belt. “Complete Oriented HED Meteorite – Likely Eucrite from Vesta” Meteorite Details : Meteorite name: Northwest Africa Unclassified Classification: HED group – likely Eucrite Country of origin: Algeria Find date: 2024 Total known mass: 516 g Observed fall: No Parent body: Vesta Magnetic properties: Non-magnetic Offered Specimen: Weight: 516 g Condition: Complete and oriented individual Surface: One face covered with glossy black fusion crust Interior: Light matrix speckled with dark mineral grains History & Provenance : This meteorite was discovered in Algeria in 2024. It was acquired in 2025 from a meteorite dealer in Morocco. This specimen belongs to the HED clan (howardites, eucrites, and diogenites), a group of achondritic meteorites scientifically linked to asteroid Vesta, providing direct insight into the geology of a differentiated protoplanet. Authenticity & Scientific Classification : Classification: HED achondrite – likely Eucrite Origin: Believed to derive from asteroid Vesta Guaranteed authentic meteoritic material Exact specimen shown in photographs.
