Authentic lunar meteorite NWA 17700 troctolite melt breccia. Own a genuine Moon rock ejected by an ancient impact and delivered to Earth. Rare certified lunar meteorite for collectors.
Overview
Hold a real fragment of the Moon in your hands.
This rare lunar meteorite, NWA 17700, is a troctolite melt breccia ejected from the Moon’s crust by a powerful asteroid impact and eventually delivered to Earth after traveling through space.
Lunar meteorites are among the rarest natural materials on Earth. Unlike Apollo mission samples, which remain government property, meteorites like NWA 17700 are the only legal way for private collectors to own genuine lunar material.
This specimen represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of another world — older than most rocks on Earth and formed in the early history of our Solar System.
