This 6.85 gram specimen is a verified piece of the Moon (Bechar 003), discovered buried beneath the Sahara sands. The time spent underground has imparted a warm, reddish terrestrial patina to the stone, creating a striking contrast against the bright white anorthositic clasts typical of lunar highlands material. A distinctive display piece that merges the pristine geology of the Moon with the rugged character of the African desert.
