Lunar Meteorite
A stunning lunar meteorite, this exclusive specimen is notable for its size and heft, 450 grams in total. A truly remarkable testament to the final frontier, the lunar meteor is worthy of the most dedicated collector.
Displayed on a minimalist, custom stand with mirrored base, reminiscent of the moon itself, this piece of space inspires the same sense of wonder and drive to explore as gazing at the night sky.
Although 306 lunar meteorites are currently known, many specimens are actually different pieces of the same meteorite; the number of unique lunar meteorites is probably closer to 155. From the existing known meteorites on Earth, only about 0.4 percent are lunar; they are so scarce that, to date, none have been found in Europe, Asia, North America or South America. In fact, about 12 percent of recovered lunar meteorites are from Antarctica, and most likely will never be available to thegeneral public
