AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The specimen of this batch is a fairly large slice for a sample collection, an EUCRITE found in Libya in 2022, classified under the official name Jikharra 001. In it we can appreciate its beautifully brecciated lithology, being a recrystallized eucrite. The lithic clasts consist of calcic plagioclase and aggregates of fine-grained plagioclase crystals.
Thanks to studies, it has been confirmed that HED meteorites (Howardites, Eucrites, and Diogenites) originate from the asteroid Vesta, hence they are differentiated rocky meteorites, i.e., achondrites.
This is a slice cut with a diamond wire, achieving a large surface area with low weight. We strive to offer you the best slices on the market. Don’t miss this opportunity!
We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material. Buy with guarantees.
