This is a great piece of the Lunar surface.  Offered here is a recently classified and spectacular 3.01gram slice of NWA 10822 Lunar feldspathic breccia meteorite.  The NWA 10822 was found, cut and professionally polished before being classified in 2016. The pictured lunar slice measures approximately 25mm x 20mm x 3mm and has a portion of the meteorite's natural crust.  Attention must be paid to the lightly polished lunar matrix that exhibits light and dark mm-sized clasts and large mineral fragments densely scattered within its interior.

Lunar meteorites are identified by geological, chemical, mineral and radiation signatures within the specimen.  Analysis can even determine the site of the specimens origin. This slice was taken from a single, 56 gram stone recovery.  The NWA 10822 Lunar was classified by Carl Agee at the University of New Mexico Meteorlogical Institute.  The cut surface reveals the meteorite is a feldspathic breccia with NUMEROUS white FELDSPAR clasts set in a dark gray matrix.  Dr. Agee also noted there are scattered ORANGE-BROWN clasts up to 4 mm in diameter that consist primarily of the mineral, Pyroxene.  The matrix is a mixture of fine-grained domains, large fragmented Plagioclase crystals and melt veins.  Some of these veins contain ~100 um-sized VESICLES (gas bubbles).  There are also orange-brown domains consisting of Pigeonite grains with Augite exsolution lamellae and interstitial Plagioclase or melt veins.  Your purchase of this beautiful slice of the Lunar surface includes a display case plus an analysis sheet for the NWA 10822 Lunar Meteorite.
