The never-ending discovery of Meteorites, brought to you by {name}

Francesco Moser

Legendary NWA 5000 Lunar Meteorite Rock .458

Originally, the complete NWA 5000 mass weighted an impressive
11,528 grams, and before cutting, it was dimensionally larger than 
any sample in the NASA collection.

3,2 billion years ago an asteroid struck the surface of the moon
in the Lunar Highlands and a mass of rock, dust and other regolith
material was ejected. Most of this material likely fell back to the
surface, but due to the Moon's low gravity many pieces managed
to fly so high they escaped into outer space. Eventually, it was
caught up in Earth's own orbit and was pulled down to our planet
as a burning meteorite.
It lay undisturbed for many centuries in the Sahara desert until the
summer of 2007, when it was recovered.
It was acquired by the well-respected Von Hupé Planetary Collection
and has been meticulously managed and curated by the official main
mass holder listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin, Adam--Hupé from
which this presented little piece is part of.

Hence this specimen comes with a Color Identification Card from the 
famous Hupé Planetary Collection which has a, signed by Adam Hupe,
Certificate of Authenticity and in a storage/display box.

With its fascinating history and unique characteristics, adding this
Moon Meteorite to your collection is a must for any space enthusiast
or collector. It also makes for an out-of-this-world gift!
Scientific information is in the added scan to the included pictures.
