AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Extraordinary and spectacular HED-type achondrite (Howardite–Eucrite–Diogenite), featuring a dark glassy crust with a striking, glossy appearance, in which perfectly marked flow lines stand out and are visible in relief, looking spectacular. The fusion crust covers about 70% of the meteorite, representing the melted material as the meteorite passed through the atmosphere, and is one of the features most appreciated by collectors. The very dark black color indicates a specimen that has fallen recently, which undoubtedly greatly increases its aesthetic and scientific value. It was recently found in the Sahara Desert, in 2026.
Thanks to studies, it has been shown that HED meteorites (Howardites, Eucrites and Diogenites) originate from asteroid Vesta, so they are differentiated rocky meteorites, i.e., achondrites. The meteorite of this lot has a quality and size worthy of a great collection or museum. High-quality specimens of this kind are rarely seen on the market. Do not miss the opportunity.
We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material for life. Buy with guarantees.
