Wadsworth - Achondrite, Monomict Eucrite Micro Specimen

The Wadsworth meteorite fell as a widely observed daytime bolide over northeastern Ohio on March 17, 2026, producing sonic booms heard across the Cleveland area and a fall that was tracked in unusual detail — the falling stones were picked up on three separate NEXRAD weather radar systems, allowing a tightly constrained strewn field to be defined across Medina and Wayne counties within a day of the event. It was officially classified by the Meteoritical Society as an HED achondrite, specifically a monomict eucrite breccia, and like other eucrites is believed to derive from the asteroid 4 Vesta — meaning this piece is a fragment of differentiated, once-molten crustal material from one of the largest bodies in the asteroid belt.

As a fresh, witnessed fall with fusion crust and an exceptionally well-documented recovery, Wadsworth material is exactly the kind of specimen that tends to become harder to find as the initial recovery period ends and collectors and institutions absorb the total known weight. This micro specimen preserves genuine fusion crust character and offers an affordable way to own a piece of one of 2026's most closely tracked meteorite falls.
