The Al Haggounia 001 meteorite was discovered in 2006 near Al Haggounia in Western Sahara. It was originally classified as an aubrite (enstatite-rich achondrite), but subsequent studies have reclassified it as a vesicular, incompletely melted impactic melt of enstatite-rich EL chondrite.

This meteorite is remarkable for its mass. It is estimated to have contained approximately 3 tonnes of material spread over an area of about 40 km. The fragments vary in size from a few grams to tens of kilograms. The outer surface is often rusty brown as a result of severe weathering, indicating long-term exposure to terrestrial conditions.

Mineralogically, Al Haggounia 001 is predominantly enstatite and plagioclase, with the presence of troilite, graphite, daubreelite, oldhamite, silica-rich kamacite and schreibersite. The porous texture of the meteorite and the presence of yellow sulphur stains indicate extensive alteration.

Spokojenost, vybral Jsem si malý vzorek wulfenitu který je vkusně umýstěn na odpovídajícím podstavci což bylo milé překvapení. Po vybalení mohl být okamžitě vystaven.
