XL, 12.5 cm! EUCRITE METEORITE Slice. NEW "JIKHARRA 001" (Libya, 2022) - achondrite from VESTA - Without reserve price!!! - 75.4 g

This specimen from this lot is a large, complete slice of eucrite found in Libya in 2022, classified under the official name Jikharra 001. It showcases its beautifully brecciated lithology, being a recrystallized eucrite. The lithic clasts consist of calcium plagioclase and aggregates of fine-grained plagioclase crystals.

Thanks to studies, it has been confirmed that HED-type meteorites (Howardites, Eucrites, and Diogenites) originate from asteroid Vesta, making them differentiated, rocky-type meteorites, that is, achondrites.

It is a slice cut with a diamond wire, achieving a large surface area with low weight. We work to offer you the best slices on the market. Exceptional size and quality to add to your collection. Don't miss this opportunity!
