A Rare Planetary Discovery Denader 002 is a highly significant meteorite in modern cosmochemistry. Recovered in 2024, it is classified as an Ungrouped Achondrite, meaning it does not fit into any established meteorite family. This specimen is remarkably rich in albite feldspar (approx. 60%), a composition that is exceptionally rare among achondrites. It shares scientific similarities with the famous Erg Atouila 001, representing a unique and evolved parent body from the early solar system. This 0.12-gram sample is an essential acquisition for collectors and institutions focusing on rare, non-standard planetary materials.
