Stone Meteorite Collection
ACHONDRITES

Achondrite meteorites are stone metoerites which do not show any chondrules. They may, however, have round clasts or other spherical crystals that have grown out of re-melted, metamorphosed material. This can cause confusion. One clue is that achondrites very rarely contain any visible metal.
