XL best quality "JIKHARRA 001" (Libya

The specimen of this lot is a large, complete piece of eucrite found in Libya in 2022, officially named Jikharra 001. Its brecciated lithology is evident even from the surface, of great beauty, being a recrystallized eucrite. The lithic clasts consist of calcic plagioclase and aggregates of fine-grained plagioclase crystals. Thanks to studies, it has been established that HED-type meteorites (Howardites, Eucrites, and Diogenites) originate from the asteroid Vesta, making them differentiated rocky meteorites, i.e., achondrites. This is a complete piece of good size and shape, excellent for adding to your collection or slicing. Size and quality for a great collection. Don’t miss this opportunity!
