Description

NWA 11788 Lunar Meteorite
Lunar (feldspathic breccia)
Mali, Northwest Africa
Found: 2017

This complete individual lunar meteorite looks every bit the part and is an incredible piece of the Moon. With a highly textural primary surface, the example, weighing 48 grams, is striking with a greenish-black coloration which enhances the extraterrestrial nature of the material. Relatively light in feel for its size, an individual like this is substantial and aesthetically superior. The reverse side is relatively flat and smooth. The piece of NWA 11788 that was found in Mali, Northwest Africa, in 2017 is definitely highly collectible.
Overall Measurements: 2.15 x 1.50 x 0.94 inches (5.47 x 3.82 x 2.39 cm), weighs 48 grams

[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
