This 12,38 gram specimen is a verified Lunar Feldspathic Breccia (Bechar 003). Recovered from beneath the desert sands, this piece features distinct reddish terrestrial weathering marks that contrast beautifully with the pale lunar anorthosite matrix. This natural "desert patina" bears witness to the time the meteorite spent buried in the Sahara soil after its fall to Earth. A visually striking example that combines pristine lunar geology with the authentic story of its terrestrial discovery.
