Enstatite chondrite!!! Coming from Mercury's orbit! Meteorite Al Haggounia 001, "EL4-7". - 61.4 g

Enstatite chondrites are a rare type of stony meteorite distinguished by their high content of the mineral enstatite, a pyroxene mineral rich in magnesium and silica. The Al Haggounia 001 meteorite, classified as an EL4-7 enstatite chondrite, is particularly intriguing as such meteorites are believed to have formed in highly reducing environments, possibly linked to the inner regions of the early Solar System, including asteroid belts or even Mercury's orbit. Their unique mineralogy offers valuable data on planetary formation and the conditions present during the Solar System's infancy. Weighing around 61 grams, this specimen provides a tangible piece of celestial history and holds interest for both scientific study and collectors fascinated by unusual meteorite types and their cosmic origins.
