AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Moon meteorite polished endcut

Bechar 003 Lunar feldspathic breccia

30.887°N, 3.301°W
Bechar, Algeria

Many small, similar-appearing stones were found together in Algeria on March 24, 2022

The stones (total 2090 g) lack fusion crust and have light brown weathered exteriors. Fresh interiors are medium gray with diffuse small white clasts and rare tiny metal grains visible.

Electron microprobe analyses were conducted on small slices from four separate stones. Although there is some mineralogical and compositional heterogeneity among these pieces, all consist of mineral clasts of calcic plagioclase, olivine, low-Ca pyroxene and augite within a very fine grained, sparsely microvesicular matrix

Will be shipped with card of authenticity guaranty and a scientifically report from the meteoritical society London
