Djoua 001 Meteorite – Rare Aubrite from Algeria Djoua 001 is a rare achondrite aubrite-type meteorite discovered in February and March 2021 near Djoua, Algeria. Aubrites are light-colored, coarse-grained meteorites rich in the mineral enstatite, which contains significant amounts of silicon and magnesium. This type of meteorite formed in a low-oxygen environment. Djoua 001 has a pale exterior with black surface coatings, likely representing weathered fusion crust formed during atmospheric entry. The interior displays a beige and grey marbled pattern with occasional dark patches and rust. Several scattered fragments have been recovered, with a total mass exceeding 22.5 kg.
