NWA 11303 Lunar Meteorite Slice
Lunar (feldspathic breccia)
Northwest Africa
Found: 2017

Relatively thick for its size, this slice of lunar meteorite NWA 11303 is simply spectacular. An irregular shape results in an artistic form, and this stunner weighing 51 grams, is an excellent slab of the Moon. The variety is considered one of the most attractive and aesthetic of all lunar meteorites, and the offering displays wonderful whitish clasts of varying sizes in contrast to its fabulous charcoal body color. With a sizable length of 4 inches (10 cm), this is a significant amount of lunar material. The polished surface is visually striking, and this represents one nice opportunity to own a classic piece of feldspathic breccia.
Measurements: 4.17 x 2.05 x 0.19 inches (10.58 x 5.20 x 0.48 cm), weighs 51 grams
