Crafted here at Mini Museum, this specimen is an incredible piece of the Asteroid Belt that you can add to your meteorite collection!
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter lies a ring of rocky objects known as the Asteroid Belt, with pieces ranging in size from dust particles to the dwarf planet Ceres. This rocky material was created during the formation of our solar system, so when a meteorite from the Asteroid Belt falls to Earth, we can learn much about how our little piece of the universe came to be.
This specimen is a mixture of different classes of meteorites (howardite, eucrite, diogenite) from a large impact basin in the southern hemisphere of Vesta, the second-largest object in the Asteroid Belt. This material is set into a resin strip and attached to an informational card with the Mini Museum Seal of Authenticity.
