Diogenites are deep igneous rocks that formed in the mantle of Vesta, one of the largest objects in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is considered a protoplanet and has a differentiated structure similar to that of a planet, meaning it has a core, mantle, and crust. Its composition is predominantly pyroxenic, meaning it contains high amounts of the mineral pyroxene, often along with small amounts of olivine and plagioclase. Scientists suspect that they were ejected from Vesta during collisions with other asteroids and then struck Earth as meteorites.\nThe Tatahouine meteorite fell near the town of Tatahouine in southern Tataouine on June 27, 1931. The fall of the Tatahouine meteorite was observed by several residents of the town of Tatahouine. The meteorite broke into thousands of small fragments as it entered the atmosphere, which were scattered over a wide area. Many of these fragments were quickly collected by local residents and scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027640422725,"sku":"META56","price":70.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/51788_photoroom-009-20250723-141358_1c6dc269-216f-4ada-a9be-514213d4696d.jpg?v=1783987521"},{"product_id":"meteorite-bechar-008-howardite-91g-algeria-mebe03","title":"Meteorite Bechar 008, Howardite 9.1g – Algeria - MEBE03","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: HED Achondrite \/ Howardite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Bechar, Algeria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 9.1g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 2.7 x 1.7 x 1.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of discovery: 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown total weight: 1700 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: none – Raw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBechar 008 Meteorite – Howardite Achondrite from asteroid Vesta\nThe Bechar 008 meteorite is a howardite-type achondrite meteorite, discovered in 2022 in the Bechar region of Algeria.

It is an HED-type Achondrite, specifically a eucritic melt breccia. The total mass of recovered fragments exceeds 2.5 tons, making this discovery one of the largest known eucritic meteorites.\nJikharra 001 is composed of lithic fragments of plagioclase and pyroxene, embedded in a melt matrix formed by shock melting. These minerals provide valuable insights into geological processes on asteroid 4 Vesta, which is considered the source of most eucritic meteorites. Vesta is the second-largest object in the main asteroid belt and has been struck by numerous large impacts throughout its history, ejecting surface material into space. These events created craters on Vesta that are visible today thanks to space probes.\nComposition and significance of eucrites\nEucrites are particularly interesting because they are considered volcanic rocks similar to those found on Earth. They are primarily composed of basalt or gabbro, both igneous rocks, and contain minerals like plagioclase and pyroxene. Together with diogenites and howardites, they form a group of meteorites known as HED meteorites, named after their main types (Howardite–Eucrite–Diogenite).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027644059973,"sku":"MEJI03","price":61.41,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/25610_meteorite-jikharra-001---3-96g---libya_8a899eef-4dbd-40ed-a8fc-8908493ae94a.jpg?v=1783987511"},{"product_id":"meteorite-errachidia-004-013g-morocco-meer13","title":"Meteorite Errachidia 004 – 0.13g – Morocco - MEER13","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Primitive Achondrite \/ Winonaite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Morocco, Northwest Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.13g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 5 x 4 x 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of discovery: 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown total weight: 2.64 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: none – Rough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: transparent plastic box (5.8 x 3.8 x 1.6 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eErrachidia 004 Meteorite – Primitive Achondrite from Morocco\nErrachidia 004 was discovered in 2020 in Morocco, in the Errachidida region. This meteorite is classified as a primitive Achondrite of the winonaite group, indicating its ancient origin. The total recovered mass is approximately 2.64 kg. Winonaites have a complex formation history dating back to the early solar system.\nWinonaites are a rare group of primitive achondritic meteorites. They have a composition similar to chondrites but have undergone partial melting and differentiation. They include silicates (forsterite, enstatite, augite, plagioclase) and metals (kamacite, taenite). Named after the Winona find in Arizona, USA.\nComposition\nErrachidia 004 comprises two main lithologies – one low-metal and one high-metal. The low-metal lithology contains forsterite, enstatite, augite, and sodic plagioclase. The high-metal lithology has significant kamacite, taenite and pattern di Widmanstätten.\nThe low-metal lithology features a granoblastic texture, with average grain size around 110 µm. Kamacite and troilite are dispersed, some altered into iron oxides. This reflects mild shock and space weathering.\nThe high-metal lithology includes up to 80% metal and shows Widmanstätten structure. It contains kamacite, taenite, plessite, troilite, and schreibersite. Silicate inclusions consist of sodic plagioclase, augite, and enstatite with 350 µm grains.\nThese two distinct lithologies reveal a complex geological history of Errachidia 004.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027645206853,"sku":"MEER13","price":29.09,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/17986-2_meteorite-errachidia-004---0-13g---morocco_2c538680-d044-449f-bdad-f6e00a2e1957.jpg?v=1783987510"},{"product_id":"meteorite-djoua-001-4g-algeria-medj05","title":"Meteorite Djoua 001 – 4g – Algeria - MEDJ05","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Achondrite \/ Aubrite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Algeria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 1.7 x 1.5 x 1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear found: 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown total weight: 22.51 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: none – Raw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDjoua 001 Meteorite – Rare aubrite from Algeria\nDjoua 001 is a rare aubrite-type achondrite discovered in February and March 2021 near Djoua, Algeria.
