NWA 14577 Lunar Fragmental Breccia Meteorite - Whole Stone - 21.0g

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. This is a breathtaking display piece for your very own collection.

As all of The Interstellar Collection’s meteorites go, this stunning genuine lunar meteorite will be accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. As a reminder, this stone is still undergoing scientific  classification.  The initial evaluation is complete, but the full writeup and official publication will take a while. This is a fantastic opportunity to jump on this pre-classified and be the first to own it.  

***How do we know it’s from the Moon? ***

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 leading scientists in the field of Meteoritics, 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. 

The Interstellar Collection, LLC is acknowledged by the IMCA (#3950), the Global Meteorite Association (GMA #042) and the Meteorite Club. We unconditionally guarantee the authenticity of all of our meteorites.
