This is an absolutely breathtaking lunar meteorite specimen that embodies the very essence of our moon. This stone belongs to an esteemed category of meteorites that have ejected from the moon's surface due to cosmic collisions, voyaging through space to grace our planet with its extraordinary presence.
When we acquire lunar meteorites, this is exact what we are looking for! Exceptional composition, complex amalgamation of minerals that unveil the moon's enigmatic history. Its polished surface beautifully presents the natural color, texture and clasts of the meteorite, making this a breathtaking display piece for your very own collection.
There are only a limited supply of this particular lunar. It is still pending classification. For more details on meteorites that are pending classification, please visit our FAQ page. In short, the meteorite is under study and has already been determined to be from the moon. The remaining study will break down its mineral composition.
As with all of The Interstellar Collection’s meteorites, this stunning genuine lunar meteorite will be accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.
About Lunar Meteorites:
Unlike Earth, the Moon has only an extremely tenuous exosphere and lacks the substantial atmospheric protection that shields our planet from most incoming meteoroids. As a result, asteroid impacts occur frequently on the lunar surface. These powerful collisions can eject lunar material into space, and on rare occasions, some of these fragments are propelled into Earth-crossing orbits. If a fragment survives its fiery passage through Earth's atmosphere and reaches the ground, it becomes known as a meteorite.
When a suspected lunar meteorite is recovered—often by experienced meteorite hunters—a sample is submitted for scientific analysis. Using petrographic thin sections, chemical testing, and isotopic studies, Meteoriticists compare the specimen's composition to known lunar materials. Its lunar origin is then confirmed through a combination of mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic signatures that match lunar samples returned to Earth by NASA's Apollo missions. Once classified, these rare extraterrestrial specimens find their way into museums, universities, research collections, and private collections around the world.
