• Large Lunar meteorite end piece, 345 grams 
• Name: Northwest Africa 15583
• Classification: Lunar feldspathic breccia
• Specimen measurements: Approximately 12 x 10 x 3.25 cm
• Professionally sliced and polished on one face

This impressive Lunar end piece has been cut to reveal light toned, anorthite-rich clasts suspended in a fine grained matrix. The harmonious mix of colours on the polished face includes light grey, charcoal grey, beige and peach. In contrast, the outer edges are rugged and rough, reminiscent of a mountainous landscape. 

How this Moon rock reached Earth is truly remarkable: 

An asteroid impact on the Moon forceful ejected surface rock, sending it on a journey thoroughly space (384,000 km in our direction), and it ultimately fell to Earth as a meteorite! Interestingly, a lunar meteorite is identified by comparing its mineralogical and chemical composition to moon-rocks brought to Earth from the Apollo missions.

How this Moon rock reached Earth is truly remarkable: 

An asteroid impact on the Moon forceful ejected surface rock, sending it on a journey thoroughly space (384,000 km in our direction), and it ultimately fell to Earth as a meteorite! Interestingly, a lunar meteorite is identified by comparing its mineralogical and chemical composition to Moon rocks brought home to Earth from the Apollo and Luna missions. Remarkably, this meteorite (Gadamis 005) is in fact similar in composition to some of the Apollo 16 moon-rock specimens!

Writeup from the Meteoritical Bulletin Database (MB 112):

Plateau du Tademait 008 28°55’03.8"N, 0°59’05.6"E

Physical characteristics: Single stone with patches of black fusion crust, sandblasted surfaces show exposed olivine phenocrysts. A polished slice reveals numerous pale green olivine phenocrysts up to ~1 cm in diameter that poikilitically enclose smaller pyroxene grains. The groundmass consists of dark gray pyroxene grains up to 500 μm and smaller olivine grains.

Petrography: (C. Agee, UNM) This meteorite has the approximate modal abundances: 50% clinopyroxene, 25% olivine, 10% maskelynite, with accessory ilmenite, chromite, Ti-Cr spinel, and pyrite. Clinopyroxene shows a tightly bound, continuous calcium enrichment trend. Olivine phenocrysts show a narrow compositional range from low Ca-pyroxene to pigeonite to subcalcic augite. Maskelynite is usually observed occupying pyroxene and olivine grain boundary pockets. Small vesicles are scattered throughout.

Geochemistry: (M. Spilde, UNM) Olivine Fa40.4±0.9, Fe/Mn=50±2, CaO=0.25±0.05, (wt%), n=6; clinopyroxene Fs26.3±4.6Wo17.6±9.2, Fe/Mn=29±2, n=12; maskelynite An51.0±3.2Ab47.2±3.4Or1.8±0.5, n=7.

Here is a phenomenal mesosiderite meteorite (end piece) of significant size (4.9 kg). Mesosiderites are a group of stony-iron meteorites composed of metal (nickel-iron) and silicate, in roughly equal parts.

This specimen was expertly cut and polished to reveal an array of metallic specks and silicate clasts; whereas, in contrast, the outer surface displays a beautiful textured appearance with a range of earthy tones. Much more impressive and beautiful in person!

A total of 80 kg of this rare meteorite has been recovered, mostly in much smaller pieces.

This specimen measures 12.5” x 8.25” x 1.5” and weighs 4.9kg / 10.8 lbs
