This is a great starter kit for "type collectors" and it includes 12 different petrologic types of meteorites.  Four of these twelve meteorites are witnessed falls and two of them are Vestans.   This set includes a variety of ordinary chondrites, stony-irons, achondrites, an iron and a carbonaceous chondrite.    Each specimen comes in an individually labelled gemjar and all twelve meteorites are presented in a 5x8" Riker box display with white foam insert.  &nb....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6149-new-vestan-olivine-diogenite-large-fragments $7.00
NWA 6149 is a newly classified meteorite - it is an olivine diogenite that is likely paired with NWA 1877.  Olivine diogenite is a rare achondrite that originates from Asteroid Vesta.  It is believed that olivine diogenite represents the deepest mantle samples ever recovered from Vesta.  By weight, olivine diogenites are one of the rarest of all meteorite types, and they are the "O" in the "HEDO" meteorite group. (Howardite,Eucrite,Diogenite,Olivine Diogenite).  These fragmen....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/camel-donga-unusual-eucrite-from-vesta-australia-1984 $5.00
Camel Donga is a strange eucrite that was first found in Australia in 1984.  Camel Donga is considered unusual for a eucrite because it contains small amounts of metal and is attracted to a magnet - most eucrites are metal poor and do not show attraction to a magnet.    This eucrite shows a classic lithology of a grey matrix with black and white chondritic/achondritic inclusions.  I have only a limited supply of this material.  Some of the fragments have fresh black fusi....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/meteorite-collection-28-different-labelled-specimens-in-a-display $139.00
This handsome 12" x 8" Riker box display has a black pebblegrain finish and a glass lid.  Underneath the glass lid in black foam cutouts are 28 different meteorite specimens.  Each specimen is generously sized and comes in a labelled gemjar.  The labels are facing up in the gemjars, so the specimens can be identified easily without removing the jars from the display.  Of course, each specimen can be removed and handled or examined if desired.  This is an entire meteori....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/hedo-display-lot-of-four-meteorites-from-asteroid-vesta $59.00
This kit comes in a handsome Riker display case.  Each kit contains four (4) samples from asteroid Vesta - one of each type from the HEDO group of meteorites.  HEDO is an acronym for Howardite, Eucrite, Diogenite, and Olivine Diogenite.  Olivine diogenite is the latest member of this group, which was known as the HED group until then.  At one time, early in asteroid Vesta's history, it was subjected to a terrible impact with another planetoid.  This impact shook Vesta ....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/bilanga-witnessed-fall-diogenite-burkina-faso-1999-vestan $6.00
Bilanga is a rare witnessed fall diogenite that fell in Burkina Faso in October 1999.  Many witnesses saw a shower of black-crusted stones which fell on two villages on October 27, 1999.  Besides Tatahouine, this is one of the most desired of diogenites.  Also like Tatahouine, Bilanga originates from Asteroid Vesta as a member of the HEDO class of meteorites.  Your specimen will be selected from the same lot of fragments shown in the photo.  Some of the fragments have cr....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/tatahouine-green-diogenite-from-asteroid-vesta $6.00
Tatahouine is a diogenite meteorite that originates from asteroid Vesta.  Tatahouine is a unique meteorite with an emerald-green matrix.  The green matrix is loaded with angular black clasts.  It's also somewhat glassy and quite different from any other meteorite.  This unusual meteorite was a witnessed fall that exploded into thousands of tiny fragments over the Tunisian desert, near Tatawin in 1931.  This is one of the only meteorites that is only found in small fragm....]]> http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-1877-olivine-diogenite-rarest-meteorite-class-on-earth $7.00
One NWA 1877 Olivine Diogenite micromount consisting of a few small fragments taken from the lot shown in the photo. (approx 20-50mg) NWA 1877 is a rare olivine diogenite from Morocco, and it also originates from Asteroid Vesta.  This meteorite is one of the rarest types - it is many times more rare than Lunar or Martian meteorites.  Scientists believe that olivine diogenites comes from the mantle of Vesta and may represent the deepest sample material from that asteroid.  I only....]]>
