This 83.9 gram specimen is a verified Unbrecciated Eucrite (EHOH 001), a member of the HED meteorite group scientifically linked to the asteroid 4 Vesta. Unlike typical eucrites that consist of fragmented breccia, this specimen preserves an unbrecciated, protogranular gabbroic texture, offering a clear view of the original crystalline structure formed within the crust of its parent body. A distinctive and scientifically rich specimen, ideal for collectors interested in planetary geology and achondrites.
