Meteorite, 96.82 g eucrite from asteroid Vesta

Eucrite-type meteorite whose section reveals an interior composed of several types of minerals also visible on the part that has naturally weathered since its fall to earth in the Sahara desert probably thousands of years ago. This type of meteorite has been associated, following spectral analyses of the surface of the asteroids, with one of the largest of them, known as the Vesta. Eucrites are rare and highly sought-after. The specimen proposed here measures 45 x 45 mm for the cut and polished visible part and 35 mm in depth. Automatically translated by DeepL.
