Meteorit | Erg Chech 002 | Achondrit | 21,09 g

Product detailed description

This sample of the Erg Chech 002 meteorite section is particularly interesting because of the large number of green pyroxenes that are scattered around the circumference of the meteorite. These pyroxenes, which have a characteristic green hue, are distinctive due to their size and their bright lustre, which stands out especially when light falls on their crystal structure.

The green pyroxenes on the perimeter of the meteorite are arranged in such a way as to create a beautiful contrast with the other minerals that make up the internal structure and crystals are sharply defined at the edges, which increases the visual appeal of the specimen while providing valuable information about its formation.

The slice as a whole also reveals the meteorite's chemical composition, which differs from other similar samples of other meteorites providing scientists with further insight into the complex geological processes at work in the early phases of the solar system. This meteorite slice provides a fascinating example of the mineral diversity and geological history that lies at the very core of the Solar System.
