Howardites, Eukrites, Diogenites a HED meteorites
Probable origin from the asteroid Vesta
HED meteorites are regarded as direct samples from the asteroid Vesta, which can occasionally even be seen with the naked eye under favourable conditions. Their unique mineral composition and the crystallisation that took place during the first few million years of their existence reveal fascinating magmatic processes in the early Solar System. These stones reached Earth as a result of a series of violent collisions and massive impacts that shattered the crust of their parent body. Data from the Dawn mission has largely confirmed their connection to Vesta, making them key to mapping the surfaces of alien worlds. For collectors, they represent a fascinating, tangible piece of the cosmic mystery and a unique window into the birth of the first planets.

Diogenites
Together with eucrites and howardites, diogenites form the HED group of meteorites from the asteroid Vesta. These coarse-grained rocks crystallised as a result of slow cooling beneath the surface of the parent body and reached Earth as a result of past cosmic collisions.
