The meteorite's natural gray surface displays subtle metallic flecks and brecciated texture-evidence of ancient impact events on the Moon's surface. The modern V-shaped setting enhances the celestial centerpiece, creating a balance of refinement and intrigue. Discovered in Northwest Africa and classified as a lunar feldspathic breccia, NWA 16684 offers a direct connection to our nearest cosmic neighbor. This piece unites fine design with genuine material from beyond Earth.
