Achondrite

Achondrite

Achondrites are a type of stony meteorite that do not contain chondrules. In comparison to chondrites, they tend to have larger crystals and less nickel-iron. These meteorites are more similar in appearance to rocks found on Earth, with visible fragments of different minerals easily seen with the naked eye.
