AUBRITE -ACHONDRITE of ENSTATITE- Coming from the orbit...

Djoua 001 is the name given to the scattered fragments of a meteorite found between February and March 2021 near Illizi, Algeria. Djoua 001 is an aubrite, an enstatite-rich achondrite composed mainly of enstatite, which scientifically indicates that it probably formed on a large-bodied asteroid in environments near Mercury's orbit. Aubrites are a unique class of achondritic meteorites that represent relatively extreme formation conditions in the early solar system. Aubrites are almost all white enstatite breccias, with occasional inclusions of olivines, nickel-iron and troilite, along with impact-melt clasts, as observed in achondrites. Enstatite is a form of orthopyroxene that forms under igneous conditions and is considered an early stage of mineral formation in the solar system. Enstatite meteorites probably originate from E-type (enstatite-rich) asteroids close to the Sun, particularly the near-Earth object 3130-Eger. They have even been observed outside the Solar System, around evolved stars and planetary nebulae! An excellent opportunity to add this wonder of the universe to your collection, with a quality and size worthy of a major collection or museum. We belong to the world’s leading associations related to meteorites: GMA (Global Meteorite Association), IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association) and The Meteoritical Society, so all our meteorites come with a certificate of authenticity and we guarantee all our meteorites for life. Buy with guarantees. Best regards and our warm wishes. CRATER METEORITES
