The EL and EH chondrites are a unique group of chondritic meteorites with compositions dominated by orthopyroxene (enstatite) rather than olivine and more Ca rich pyroxenes. Enstatite is a pyroxene with a very low amount of calcium compared to other types of pyroxene, and often displays large well delineated grains.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.76g NWA 7401 EL6 Meteorite slice as shown, membrane storage\/display box, \u0026amp; signed Certificate
