NWA 11474 Lunar Meteorite Slice
Lunar (feldspathic breccia)
Northwest Africa
Found: 2017

Arguably the most efficient presentation of rare meteorite material, the slice can maximize surface area and result in relatively impressive specimens relative to weight. This classic lunar slice of NWA 11474 is a charcoal black feldspathic breccia with an abundance of white, tan and taupe inclusions. The piece has a number of large clasts, and its complex composition makes it extremely visually appealing. The uniquely shaped thin section weighs 16 grams but offers an impact well beyond its normal dimensional size.
Overall Measurements: 2.83 x 2.43 x 0.08 inches (7.18 x 6.18 x 0.20 cm), weighs 16 grams

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