AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The specimen from this lot is a precious, complete, good-sized piece of EUCRITE that is brecciated and fused, paired with the recent classification NWA 15658. From the outside we can already appreciate its stunning brecciated lithology, with large veins and dark areas that represent the melted material due to the impact it received in space, giving it a spectacular appearance. A specimen for a great collection.

Don’t miss this opportunity!

Thanks to studies, it has been proven that meteorites of the HED type (Howardites, Eucrites, and Diogenites) come from the asteroid Vesta, so they are differentiated rocky meteorites, i.e., achondrites.

We are members of the major international associations related to meteorites, therefore we guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made with this material. Buy with guarantees.
