A Solid Geological Record This 145-gram specimen serves as an impressive geological record from the asteroid belt. Belonging to the L5 class, it signifies a meteorite that has reached thermal equilibrium, meaning its internal minerals (olivine and pyroxene) have settled into a stable state due to prolonged ancient heating. This substantial piece offers collectors a direct look at the results of metamorphism inside a planetary body, making it a scientifically valuable asset for any study or display.
