Included Meteorites:

 

Aydar Acapulcoite

Acapulcoites are rare primitive achondrites that display properties similar to both chondrites and achondrites. These meteorites come from small asteroidal bodies that have undergone partial melting. Aydar Acapulcoite is a fine example of this type, providing insights into early solar system processes and asteroidal evolution.

 

NWA 11901 Lodranite

Lodranites are related to acapulcoites but have experienced higher degrees of melting, resulting in a distinctive texture and mineral composition. NWA 11901 Lodranite offers a glimpse into the deeper, more differentiated regions of early asteroidal bodies, where melting has significantly altered the original material.

 

NWA 12705 Ureilite

Ureilites are a unique class of achondrites characterized by their high carbon content, often including microscopic diamonds formed under high-pressure conditions. NWA 12705 Ureilite provides rare insight into the high-energy processes occurring on the parent asteroids and reveals a fascinating snapshot of shock and pressure events in space.

 

NWA 12551 Rumurutite

Rumurutites are part of the R chondrite group, known for their unusually high oxidation state. NWA 12551 Rumurutite represents a rare type of meteorite that bridges the gap between ordinary chondrites and more processed achondrites, making it highly valuable for studying the evolution of early solar system materials.

 

NWA 12773 Brachinite

Brachinites are ultramafic achondrites, composed primarily of olivine, and thought to represent mantle material from differentiated asteroids. NWA 12773 Brachinite is an excellent example of this rare meteorite type, offering a view into the interior composition of early planetary bodies.

 

NWA 13790 Winonaite

Winonaites are primitive achondrites with similarities to both chondrites and achondrites, making them a key type for understanding early solar system processes. NWA 13790 Winonaite is a valuable meteorite for studying partial melting, differentiation, and the primitive nature of its parent body.

 

About Primitive Achondrites:

Primitive achondrites are meteorites that have undergone partial melting but retain many of their original chondritic properties, making them crucial for studying the transition from primitive solar system material to differentiated planetary bodies. Each of the meteorites in this collection comes from different asteroidal sources, each contributing to our understanding of how asteroids and planets formed.

This stunning framed set comes with a certificate of authenticity to ensure the provenance and quality of each meteorite. It is an ideal display for collectors, educators, or anyone fascinated by the mysteries of space.
