Although witnessed coming down in October 1960, the remoteness of the area in Western Australia meant that the Millbillillie meteorite was not found until 1970. A Ca-rich Achondrit e, or Eucrite, it has famously been linked back to the asteroid 4 Vesta. Internally very pale grey in colour, it is characterized by its black fusion crust, often with red soil stains. All of this features can be seen on this 3.4 g sample, with a good, clear, cut surface, but also a fine, rounded, smooth outer surface. Ex David Baker Collection. Please note that this sample joins perfectly with one of the two pieces listed under number (CC45266) but for some reason had been kept separate by the previous owner. Show more
