AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A remarkable fragment of an ancient asteroid, originating from the depths of our Solar System.
Offered here is an authentic slice of NWA 17089, a scientifically classified HED achondrite (Eucrite), belonging to a fascinating family of meteorites strongly associated with asteroid 4 Vesta, one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Unlike ordinary chondrites, eucrites originate from differentiated planetary bodies that underwent extensive geological processes, including melting and crystallization.
This specimen offers collectors the extraordinary opportunity to own material associated with another world.
