XL MUSEUM new "JIKHARRA 001" (Libya, 2022). EUCRITE METEORITE -achondrite from VESTA- - 247.6 g

The specimen from this lot is a large, complete piece of eucrite found in Libya in 2022, officially classified as Jikharra 001. It showcases a brecciated lithology right from the surface, of great beauty, 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 complete piece of good size and shape, perfect to add to your collection or slice up. Size and quality for a great collection. Don't miss this opportunity!
