Beautiful complete fragment of 24 g of the Millbillillie meteorite . This achondrite eucrite type meteorite, fell in October 1960 at 13: 00 in Millbillillie, Australia. This meteorite originated from the Vesta Asteroid, like all HED meteorites. (Howardite eucrite and diogenites) . Vesta is one of the largest differentiated asteroids (530 km in diameter) orbiting in the famous asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Vesta lost some of its material during a collision with another asteroid slightly less than a billion years ago. Vesta debris land from time to time on our good old planet Earth. . . This was the case for the Millbillillie meteorite mentioned above! Happy bidding! Meteorite Science. Meteorite shipped with its descriptive card and a moisture-proof bag.
