found together near Boudnib, Morocco were purchased by Mohammed Hmani in December 2019.
Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS and P. Carpenter, WUSL) The specimen has a mean grainsize of ~400 µm and is composed predominantly of equant grains of enstatite with subordinate sodic plagioclase and accessory altered Si-bearing kamacite, altered Cr-troilite and schreibersite.
Geochemistry: Enstatite (Fs0.2±0.0Wo0.6-0.7, N = 3), plagioclase (Ab91.4An2.6Or6.0; Ab76.4An21.4Or2.3; N = 2), kamacite (Si = 1.5 wt.%, Ni = 7.9 wt.%).

Tiglit is a rare aubrite that fell in Morocco on December 10, 2021.
The first specimens or samples collected without scientific data have reached exorbitant prices up to 600 euros per gram, marketed as a lunar meteorite. Professor Abderrahmane Ibhi, expert in meteorites and founder responsible for the University Museum of Meteorites, confirmed the authenticity of the news of the fall of a meteorite in the south-east of Morocco near the village of Tiglit and indicated that the analyses carried out by the University Museum of Meteorites confirm that it is indeed a celestial rock of the aubrite type of asteroidal origin thus calming down some of the hunters of meteorites who thought that they had made a fortune.
