2.9g Gadamis 005 Lunar Meteorite - Ferroan Anorthosite, Cataclastic - Similar To The Apollo 16 Sample!

You are looking at a 2.9g individual of Gadamis 005 Lunar Meteorite, classified as lunar ferroan anorthosite, cataclastic! This beautiful stone has pitted areas 360 degrees surrounding it.

What makes this lunar even more special than others? It’s remarkably similar compositionally to the Apollo 16 samples returned to earth by our astronauts. This is a much sought after lunar meteorite, and is the closest you’ll get to holding a true Apollo moon sample.  The best part - you’re getting the entire stone! It’s not sliced or altered in any way. This comes to you in the same form as the day it hit the ground. A truly impressive talking piece for your own private collection!

About Lunar Meteorites: Our moon lacks an atmosphere. When asteroids encounter these celestial bodies (which happens frequently), fragments eject from the impact and occasionally make their way into Earth’s orbit. If the stone survives its cataclysmic entry into Earth, it lands on the ground and becomes known as a meteorite. Once studied under a microscope by scientists, the stone's origin is then plotted based on its compositional property to the different classes of asteroids and samples returned to Earth. Lunar meteorites specifically are compared to samples returned by NASA's Apollo mission astronauts. From there, meteorites make their way into museums, universities and to the general public all around the world.
