NWA 11756 – Rare olivine-rich material formed inside early asteroids

This brachinite meteorite (NWA 11756) is a rare primitive achondrite, formed through partial melting processes inside early asteroids.

Unlike ordinary meteorites, this specimen represents olivine-rich material derived from the interior of a differentiated asteroid, providing insight into early planetary formation.

Brachinites are extremely rare and are known for their high olivine content (~70–80%), giving them a distinctive ultramafic composition.

Scientific studies suggest that brachinites originate from multiple asteroid parent bodies, making them particularly important for understanding Solar System diversity.
