NWA 11756 – Rare olivine-rich asteroid material in a compact collector specimen

This brachinite meteorite (NWA 11756) is a rare primitive achondrite, formed through partial melting processes inside early asteroids.

Unlike ordinary meteorites, this specimen represents olivine-rich material derived from the interior of a differentiated asteroid, offering valuable insight into early planetary formation.

Brachinites are among the rarest meteorites and are characterized by their high olivine content (~70–80%), giving them a distinctive ultramafic composition.

Scientific research suggests that brachinites originate from multiple asteroid parent bodies, making them particularly important for understanding the diversity of materials in the early Solar System.

This small slice specimen allows direct observation of its internal structure in a compact, accessible format.
