AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An amazing fragment of Aubrite meteorite
Its igneous origin separates them from primitive enstatite chondrites and means they originated in an asteroid.
Aubrites are composed primarily of large white crystals of Mg-rich orthopyroxene, or enstatite. Around this matrix, they have minor phases of olivine, nickel-iron metal and troilite, indicating magmatic formation under extremely reducing conditions.
The extensive brecciation of most aubrites attests to a violent history in their parent body.
Spectral comparisons of aubrites with asteroid spectra have revealed surprising similarities between the aubrite group and E-type asteroids of the Nysa family.
A small near-Earth object, (3103) Eger, is often suggested as the primary body of aubrites.
