This 12.1 gram specimen is a verified example of an Aubrite (Enstatite Achondrite), a distinct group of differentiated meteorites. Composed primarily of magnesium-rich enstatite, this piece features the characteristic light-colored matrix that sets Aubrites apart from the darker tones of most space rocks. A specialized addition to any collection, offering a clear representation of an achondrite formed within an oxygen-poor environment on a differentiated parent body.
