158 g Eucrite meteorite, nice melting crust Eucrite-type meteorite covered with a shiny fusion crust on the main face and a partial secondary crust on the opposite face revealing the interior composed of several types of visible minerals. Discovered in the Sahara desert a few years ago. This type of meteorite has been associated, following spectral analyses of the asteroid surface, with one of the largest of them, known as Vesta. Eucrites are rare and highly sought-after. The specimen proposed here measures 60 x 50 x 40 mm for 158 g.
