This attractive 193 gram specimen is a fine example of an HED achondrite, displaying all the classic characteristics of a Eucrite. Believed to originate from the crust of the asteroid 4 Vesta, this stone features a light-colored, brecciated interior composed of ancient basaltic rock, contrasting beautifully with patches of dark, weathered fusion crust. Eucrites are among the few meteorites linked to a specific parent body, making this specimen a tangible piece of a differentiated protoplanet. It is an excellent, sizable representative of achondritic material for collectors seeking geological diversity.
