AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The specimen from this lot is a large, complete slice of EUCRITA breccia, possibly paired with the recent classification NWA 15658. It showcases its beautiful breccia lithology, with large veins and dark areas representing the melted material caused by the shock it received in space, giving it a spectacular appearance. It also features some cavities, which are actually small gas vesicles trapped in the meteorite—something uncommon and highly valued by collectors.
It is a perfectly polished and cut slice with diamond thread, achieving a large surface area with low weight. The polishing is spectacular, with a mirror effect. 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!
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.
We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material for life. Buy with confidence.
