This beautiful meteorite was discovered by Marie Gerbet in 2010 in the Jiddat al Harasis, a rocky desert north of the Dhofar region and in south-central Oman.
This meteorite was used by NASA to calibrate the spectrometer of the DAWN probe that studied the asteroid Vesta !
NWA 7811 is a fresh meteorite classified eucrite polymict breccia of only 95 grams.
It was discovered in 2011 and classified by Anthony Irving in 2012.
The eucrites come from the Asteroid Vesta.
Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Fresh fragmental breccia composed mainly of crystal debris from several different basaltic eucrite and gabbroic eucrite protoliths (with some polymineralic clasts of same), plus sparse clasts of diogenite and diogenitic orthopyroxene. Minerals include exsolved pigeonite, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, calcic plagioclase, silica polymorph, ilmenite, troilite, chromite, and fayalite.
