This 5 gram specimen is a striking example of a buried Lunar Feldspathic Breccia (Bechar 003). The stone exhibits a distinct, blocky shape with a captivating interplay of colors; the bright white lunar anorthosite is beautifully accented by reddish-orange terrestrial soil deposits settled within its crevices. This natural weathering highlights the meteorite’s texture and tells the story of its long residency beneath the Sahara sands. A visually dynamic specimen, perfect for collectors who appreciate the aesthetic contrast between lunar geology and Earth’s desert history.
