POLISHED UREILITE METEORITES

Ureilites are a rare type of stony achondrite meteorite known for their unique mineral composition. They are rich in carbon, often in the form of graphite or tiny diamonds created by high-pressure collisions in space. These meteorites likely originate from a large parent body, possibly an asteroid, that experienced significant heating and impact events.

Ureilites are distinct due to their mixture of olivine, pyroxene, and metallic iron, with dark carbon inclusions set against silicate minerals. Their rarity and the presence of diamonds make them highly sought after by collectors and scientists for their aesthetic and scientific value.
