It was initially classified as an aubrite (an enstatite-rich achondrite), but subsequent studies reclassified it as an incompletely melted and vesicular impact melt belonging to an EL-type enstatite chondrite. Mass and surface characteristics This meteorite is particularly known for its mass. Approximately 3 tons of material have been found scattered over an area of about 40 km. Fragments range from a few grams to several tens of kilograms. The outer surface often appears rust-brown due to strong terrestrial alteration, a sign of long exposure to terrestrial environmental conditions. Composition and structure From a mineralogical point of view, Al Haggounia 001 is mainly composed of enstatite and plagioclase, with the presence of troilite, graphite, daubréelite, oldhamite, silicon-rich kamacite, and Schreibersite. Its porous structure and the presence of yellow sulfur spots indicate extensive alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027740332357,"sku":"MEAH03","price":22.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/28472_meteorite-al-haggounia-001---8-7g---western-sahara.jpg?v=1779377711","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/en\/products\/meteorite-al-haggounia-001-87g-western-sahara-meah03","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
