Diogenite Meteorite NWA 7831 Vesta Minor Planet found Western Sahara COA 6240

Description: Welcome to Pioneer Fossils and Minerals! A Certificate of Authenticity, which has a color photo on it of the exact item you purchased, will accompany the specimen. Plus a free "floating" display case. Found at Chouichiyat, Saguia el Hamra, Western Sahara, Africa. Here is a tiny piece of the meteorite Achondrite (Diogenite), from the Minor Planet Vesta, now designated Vesta 4. It is one of the largest bodies in the asteroid belt, with a mean diameter of about 326 miles (525 km.). NASA's Dawn Spacecraft did a close flyby of Vesta in 2011. We know these meteorites are from Vesta, as the composition of reflected light off an asteroid (or minor planet) reveals the chemical structure, such as pyroxene on Vesta. There are a number of different meteorites from Vesta. Besides this type, there are also Eucrite and Howardite. This meteorite bit measures about .36 inches, by .25", by .18", and it weighs about 0.4 grams. Photo taken in bright light.We invite you to visit our store.

You will receive the exact item described and photographed, unless clearly stated otherwise. This item, along with all items we sell, is only intended for responsible adults. Please keep out of reach of young children. All of our descriptions are 100% written by American humans. We will ship this only to the United States. We are not responsible if the buyer reships it somewhere else, after receiving it from us. Our responsibility ends at the destination we ship it to. If you take it out of the United States, you are on your own. COMBINED SHIPPING: We make every effort to combine shipping costs and we refund any overpayment back to you, on the same day we ship the item. We have given hundreds of partial refunds for combined shipping savings. We will do our best to combine purchases to save shipping costs. In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not as much. Our items are of vastly different sizes and weights, but we never use shipping as a profit center. We would rather refund the shipping overpayment back to you, and have a happy buyer. We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the specimens. We have been working with fossils and minerals for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. Have you ever received a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that had no photo on it of the item you purchased? A COA should be specific to one particular specimen, with a photo of the item on it. At Pioneer Fossils, all of our fossils and minerals that come with a COA, have a photo of the exact item you just purchased. It can never be transferred to a different specimen. ****************************************************************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT: If you are not satisfied with your order, please contact us, and let us make it right, before giving any feedback. We want to make sure you are fairly treated by us always. *********************************************************************************************************************************** Signature upon delivery: We sometimes may decide it is best to put a "Signature Required" on a shipment, of any size or price. If it is important to you that you DO receive, or do NOT receive a Signature Required, please let us know at time of purchase. Any item over $200, you can expect a Signature required. Return Policy: If you are not satisfied with your item, please contact us within 72 hours of receiving the item. We'll refund your purchase price, minus shipping charges, upon safe return of the item to us in original condition (item cannot be altered or damaged) within 30 days of buyer’s receipt of item. Failure to contact us within 72 hours of receipt of item, voids this offer. Buyer is responsible for all return shipping charges. 6240.JYFUG281031174299UFYUDF!UYF%TD AAA
