Aubrites
Aubrites are calcium-poor achondrites consisting mostly of enstatite as their pyroxene. They are sometimes referred to as enstatite achondrites and might somehow be related to the enstatite chondrites. Aubrites are believed to come from E-type asteroids, although it has also been suggested that they are what meteorites from Mercury might look like. Less than twenty distinct Aubrites are known.
