On offer: 0.705 g rare lunar basaltic breccia meteorite specimen

Official name: NWA 14188

submitted with job number from Nom Com but not approved or published yet in Met Bull yet

Classification: Lunar Basaltic Breccia

Description: This is a 0.705 gram partial slice of a rare basaltic lunar meteorite that was ejected from the Moons surface when another meteorite struck that area of the Moon with enough force to send pieces into an Earth crossing trajectory.

This specimen is unlike many of the lunar feldspathic breccia that are more common among the lunar meteorites types, and instead shows a more rapidly quenched basaltic texture. It is a stunning lunar meteorite with larger slices displaying pronounced long well-defined glassy shock veins. These lunar meteorites offer a unique and beautiful interior, unlike any other meteorite.

What you get: 0.705 gram partial slice/specimen of the lunar basalt meteorite as shown, shipping/storage membrane box, and a signed certificate of authenticity.
