Best Aubrite

Aubres is an aubrite meteorite that fell near Nyons in southeastern France in 1836. It gave its name to the aubrites, a class of enstatite-rich achondrites formed under unusually oxygen-poor conditions and distinguished by their pale, magnesium-rich silicate material. As the type specimen for the gr...

Bustee is an aubrite meteorite that fell in northern India in 1852. Aubrites are rare, highly reduced achondrites composed predominantly of enstatite, with mineral chemistry indicating formation under conditions containing very little oxygen. As a documented nineteenth-century fall, Bustee provides...

An anomalous aubrite found in Lubbock County, Texas, USA, notable for its unique texture suggesting it represents a distinct parent body from all other aubrites.

Peña Blanca Spring is an aubrite meteorite that fell in Brewster County, Texas, in 1946. The fall produced a pale, enstatite-rich achondrite, a rare meteorite type formed under highly reducing conditions and containing very little iron in oxidized minerals. Its observed arrival and substantial recov...

Bishopville is an aubrite meteorite that fell near Bishopville in Sumter County, South Carolina, in 1843. Aubrites are enstatite-rich achondrites, meaning they are igneous meteorites with very little metallic iron and without the abundant chondrules found in ordinary chondrites. As a witnessed ninet...

An aubrite meteorite found in Russia, notable for containing clasts of differing lithologies, indicating it is a regolith breccia from the aubrite parent body.

Mayo Belwa is an aubrite meteorite that fell in Adamawa State, Nigeria, in 1974 and was recovered as a single stone. Aubrites are rare achondrites composed predominantly of nearly iron-free enstatite, indicating formation under highly reducing conditions. Its mineralogy links it to a small, unusual...

An aubrite meteorite that fell in Sudan in 1944, one of the few African aubrite falls and noted for its coarse-grained enstatite texture and low metal content.
