AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Meteorite name: Bechar 003
Type: lunar
Weight: 2.4 grams
Place of discovery: Algeria
Status: Natural, unpolished, as found

This specimen is a lunar meteorite of the feldspathic breccia type, derived from materials characteristic of the lunar crust, rich in feldspar, primarily plagioclase, and associated with anorthositic regions of the Moon's surface.

With a mass of 2.4 g, it is an authentic and representative sample of lunar material, scientifically documented. Lunar feldspathic breccias are formed by consolidated fragments from ancient impacts, making them direct testimonies of the Moon's intense geological history of the crust.

This type of meteorite is especially valued by specialized collectors and for educational and scientific purposes, due to its confirmed extraterrestrial origin and its relevance to the study of the early evolution of the Moon.

The piece is preserved in its natural state, without polishing or artificial treatment, maintaining all of its original characteristics.
