Brachinite NWA 11756 (3.31 g) L3 while metal inclusions—now partly oxidizedNWA 11756 Olivine rich asteroid interior slice with increased surface visibility. 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, offering insight into early planetary formation. Brachinites are among the rarest meteorites and are known
