XL Amazing!!! EUCRITE MELT BRECCIA., a eucrite melt-breccia achondrite from Vesta (NWA 15658), Sahara, 746 g.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The specimen of this lot is a precious, large, complete piece, fused brecciated eucrite, paired with the recent classification NWA 15658. In it we can already notice from the exterior its beautiful 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 or museum.

Do not miss this opportunity!

Thanks to the studies, it has been possible to confirm that HED meteorites (Howardites, Eucrites and Diogenites) originate from the asteroid Vesta, which means they are differentiated rocky meteorites, i.e., achondrites.

We are members of the main 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.

Regards and our best wishes.
