Al Haggounia 010 Aubrite Meteorite Specimen Official Enstatite Achondrite Western Sahara

An authentic specimen of the officially classified Al Haggounia 010 meteorite, a rare aubrite (enstatite achondrite) discovered in Western Sahara and officially approved in Meteoritical Bulletin 110. Aubrites are among the rarest and most visually distinctive meteorites known, prized for their light-colored appearance, enstatite-rich composition, and highly unusual mineralogy.

Why Al Haggounia 010 Is Exceptional

• Officially classified aubrite
• Rare enstatite achondrite type
• Large documented main mass
• Highly uncommon meteorite classification
• Fine-grained enstatite-rich structure
• Limited collector availability

Official Classification

• Name: Al Haggounia 010
• Country: Western Sahara
• Year Found: 2006
• Classification: Aubrite (Enstatite Achondrite)
• Total Known Weight: 35 kg
• Official Publication: Meteoritical Bulletin 110

Scientific Composition

Scientific analysis identified: fine-grained equigranular texture, enstatite-rich mineralogy, plagioclase inclusions, kamacite, troilite, and daubreelite.

Physical Characteristics

Official reports describe: brown exterior coloration, orange surface patches, absence of fusion crust, fine-grained enstatite matrix, and bright achondritic appearance.

Aubrites are especially important in meteoritics because they represent highly reduced enstatite-rich material unlike most ordinary meteorites. Their unique mineralogy and bright silicate structure make them instantly recognizable among advanced meteorite collectors.

Depending on preparation and specimen type, Al Haggounia 010 material may display: pale gray to whitish interior, enstatite-rich crystalline texture, metallic inclusions, brecciated achondritic structure, and highly reflective fresh surfaces.

Ideal For

• Achondrite collectors
• Aubrite specialists
• Advanced meteorite collections
• Planetary science collections
• Museum and educational displays
• Rare classified meteorite collectors

A remarkable extraterrestrial artifact representing one of the rarest and most unusual meteorite classes available to collectors today.

Measurements & Weight

• Weight: 13.1g

Condition

Please review all photos carefully for overall condition, weathering, natural texture, fractures, cut surfaces, and preparation characteristics, as they are considered part of the description. Meteorites are natural extraterrestrial objects and commonly display structural variation, oxidation, and natural surface features from terrestrial exposure and recovery.
