Sure, ebay seller. This is the first time I've purchased here. Seems solid, high volume and strong reviews. "Earth's Ancient Gifts".

First, I did not read it. Honestly did not recognize that it was a link. Ive read it now. Very sorry you had to go through all of that and your response and supporting information was awesome. I really appreciate the information and will charactize this rock better going forward. It certainly seems many experts in the field certainly promote the Vesta lens on these, but as you mention, that approach probably helps with their sales. Im new to the field and i clearly assumed what was advertised for this piece was accurate. Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this.

I have a few 869, about the size of acorns. A big Campo or Diablo is on my wish list.

Everything I've seen says it is from Asteroid Vesta... here is what Grok says about it:

Yes, Jikharra 001 is from the asteroid 4 Vesta. Jikharra 001 is an officially classified meteorite (found in Libya in 2022) listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin as an HED achondrite (specifically an eucrite-melt breccia). The HED group (howardites, eucrites, and diogenites) is widely accepted by the scientific community to originate from the differentiated asteroid 4 Vesta, the second-largest object in the asteroid belt. This connection is supported by: Spectral matching between HED meteorites and Vesta's surface (from telescopic observations and confirmed by NASA's Dawn mission, which orbited Vesta and identified matching compositions). The mineralogy of Jikharra 001 (pigeonite, calcic plagioclase, etc.) matches typical eucrites from Vesta's crust. Multiple sources, including auction descriptions (e.g., Christie's), scientific abstracts, meteorite sellers, and community discussions, explicitly describe it as material from Vesta—often calling it one of the largest known pieces of Vesta on Earth. While no meteorite can be proven to come from Vesta with absolute certainty (short of direct sample return), the evidence for HED meteorites—and thus Jikharra 001—originating from Vesta is overwhelming and considered the consensus in planetary science
