This 3.41-gram specimen represents a genuine fragment of the lunar highlands. Ejected from the Moon's surface by a massive asteroid impact, it traversed the void of space before landing in the Sahara Desert. A scientifically verified piece of our nearest celestial neighbor, composed of ancient crustal material similar to samples returned by the Apollo missions.
