Millbillillie Eucrite Wiluna district - Millbillillie Station, Western Australia - October 1960 Many locals and aborigines saw a spectacular fireball that left showers of sparks as it traveled across the sky.  No immediate search was undertaken.  In 1970, meteorites were found in the fall area and since then many stones have been found.  This meteorite is an achondrite eucrite that originates from the asteroid Vesta.  It has a distinctive "salt and pepper" look to the matri....]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:02:53 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-4051--brecciated-basaltic-eucrite--micromounts $5.00
NWA 4051 is a single stone meteorite that was discovered in the Kem Kem region of Algeria near the Moroccan border (2004).  It is a brecciated basaltic eucrite with a grey matrix contrasting clasts.  The TKW of this meteorite is a modest 828g before classification, and there is very little on the market.  Like all eucrites, this meteorite originates from asteroid Vesta. Refer to the photo.  The black centimeter cube is shown for scale and is not included.  You are purch....]]> Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:26:57 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6928-rare-noritic-diogenite-1-of-only-3-known-micros $8.00
NWA 6928 is a very rare Noritic diogenite that is one of only 3 known meteorites of this type.  At first, this small single stone was thought to be a eucrite, but intensive analysis revealed it to be an extremely rare sub-type of diogenite.   While it visually resembles a cumulate eucrite, the chemistry of NWA 6928 is entirely different than expected and falls into the diogenite grouping. This is a low-TKW meteorite and there is very little available on the market of this rare ty....]]> Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:49:39 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/unclassified-cumulate-eucrite-dhofar-007-lookalike-slice-309mg-1 $5.00
This striking meteorite is unclassified and was purchased out of Morocco.  Unfortunately, the stone was too small to merit the expense of lab classification.  But, upon cutting, this specimen showed the unmistakable texture and appearance of a cumulate eucrite - similar to the famous Dho 007.  Cumulate eucrites have a very distinctive look to them and this meteorite is a beautiful example of the type.  However, because this meteorite is unclassified, I must state that this me....]]> Sat, 10 Sep 2011 11:38:00 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6927--fresh-vestan-diogenite--micromount $6.00
NWA 6927 is a new meteorite that was purchased out of Morocco by Gary Fujihara and classified by Dr. Tony Irving at the University of Washington.  The analysis revealed that this meteorite is a diogenite from the asteroid Vesta.  This is one of the freshest and prettiest diogenites to come out of the Saharan Desert in a long time.  NWA 6927 contains numerous large greenish crystals set into a yellow-green matrix that is free of oxidation staining or weathering.  There is only....]]> Sat, 10 Sep 2011 11:00:00 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/unclassified-possible-olivine-diogenite-see-description-2g-endcut-1 $6.00
This meteorite is a possible olivine diogenite that was found in northern Mali.  Recently, a meteorite of this type was classified as NWA 5480.  This unclassified meteorite comes from the same Moroccan finder and the same Mali strewnfield.  Suffice to say, in all likelihood, this is an olivine diogenite that is paired with NWA 5480.  But, I must emphasize - this specimen has not been classified yet. Olivine diogenites originate from asteroid Vesta and hail from the deep mant....]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 10:31:30 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/dhofar-700--fresh-orthopyroxene-diogenite-meteorite--micromounts $7.00
Dhofar 700 is a beautiful diogenite with very little weathering and it is composed almost entirely of orthopyroxene and mafic silicates.  The matrix of this meteorite consists of countless crystals of pure orthopyroxene with an equigranular texture. Like all diogenites, this meteorite originates from the mantle zone of asteroid Vesta.  Refer to the photo.  The black centimeter cube is shown for scale and is not included.  You are purchasing one large or a few small fra....]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 09:51:12 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-3152-asteroid-dust-from-4-vesta-eucritic-regolith-vial $9.99
This glass vial contains genuine "top soil" from the asteroid 4 Vesta (eucritic dust and fragments from Vestan meteorite NWA 3152).  This parent body is home to the HED class of meteorites and it represents a "failed planet" that currently orbits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.  The HED meteorite types have been matched to asteroid Vesta by spectral analysis.  The current NASA Dawn Mission is sending a probe to orbit and study asteroids Vesta and Ceres.  One ....]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2011 20:53:48 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-4473-stunning-fresh-diogenite-lunar-like-matrix-micromounts $6.00
This stunning diogenite has a fresh green matrix packed with small creamy-white clasts.  At a glance, it resembles a weird lunar meteorite.   It was purchased out of Morocco in the summer of 2006.  This meteorite has a glassy matrix that takes a high polish.  This particular piece is a polished slice with a lot of surface area for the weight.  This is another meteorite you don't see on the market very often and I only have a very-limited supply.  (this is the l....]]> Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:34:03 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-3152-basaltic-eucrite-from-vesta-micromounts $6.00
NWA 3152 was found in Morocco prior 2005 and it was subsequently classified as a basaltic eucrite (type 7).  It is unshocked and quite fresh with a Weathering level of 1.  The TKW is a modest 1.4 kg and this is another meteorite not often seen on the market.  Refer to the photo.  You are purchasing one large or a few small fragments selected from the larger lot shown.  The black centimeter cube is shown for scale and is not included.  Your purchase includes a labe....]]> Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:30:57 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/pick-five-you-pick-any-5-meteorite-micromounts-for-30-free-ship $30.00

NWA 6290 (provisional) is a fascinating new brecciated diogenite (orthopyroxenitic diogenite) that is unlike any I have ever seen.  I have seen red diogenites, green diogenites, and white diogenites, but this is the first orange-brown diogenite that I have encountered.   This meteorite takes a high polish that shows off shiny bands/streaks of inclusion material, polycrystalline clasts, and pigeonite.   There are also nickel-poor metal inclusions, olivine, and troilite.&n....]]> Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:03:36 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/hedo-display-lot-of-four-meteorites-from-asteroid-vesta $39.00

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....]]> Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:22:15 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-1877-olivine-diogenite-rarest-meteorite-class-on-earth $7.00

(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....]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:16:24 GMT
