Description: Hi everyone, Up for sale is an ultra rare meteorite: NWA 14526 Lunar Mare Basalt - This is a special lunar that comes from deep within our moon! It weighs 1.7g, and has an absolutely stunning polish on one side. Why is this lunar meteorite even more rare than others? Lunar surface morphology has evolved over billions of years due to a combination of a couple main contributors: continual meteoroid impact events, (creating deep, massive craters), as well as volcanic eruptions, which fill those craters, harden, and create a new surface. While most lunar meteorites originated from the lunar highlands, very few are from the basaltic plain region. This area is called the “maria”, which make up the basaltic plains of the moon, and are those dark patches we can see on the moon today. Through scientific analysis of the mineral compounds found within lunar mare basalt meteorites, it is believed that these stones originated from deep within the basaltic plain area where partial melting of the lunar mantle once occurred.
