A limited edition Aerolite exclusive, fragment from Asteroid Vesta! Vesta is one of the largest recorded asteroids in the Asteroid Belt. Occasionally, there are asteroidal collisions which result in fragments being thrown out in all directions, sometimes crossing paths with our planet Earth. Howardites are regolith breccias, consisting largely of fragments of diogenites and eucrites and are believed to have formed when impact ejecta from Vesta's surface was further altered and buried by later impacts. In other words, howardites are an amalgam of meteorite fragments from the surface of one of the largest known asteroids -- a fact evidenced by the abundant and varied clasts they contain. They are named in honor of Edward Charles Howard (1774 – 1816), a British chemist who was also a pioneer in meteorite studies. This specimen is 100% guaranteed!
