Detailed information

Product detailed description

Meteorite NWA 11182 is a fascinating lunar meteorite classified as a feldspar breccia. Its internal structure contains white feldspar clasts embedded in a dark grey matrix with areas of melt resulting from strong impact shock. Unlike many lunar breccias, which are usually monochromatic, NWA 11182 contains shades of brown, red and dark maroon, making it particularly colourful and unique.

This meteorite is highly sought after by collectors for its aesthetic qualities and scientific significance. Its fragments provide a glimpse into the geology of the Moon. The surface of this meteorite is often polished and cut to reveal its beauty and is sold in small pieces to enthusiasts around the world.

It came to Earth thanks to an asteroid collision with the moon, which blasted the material into space. NWA 11182 was found in northwest Africa.

We currently have several of these 0.2 - 0.3 gram slices, so the picture is illustrative. Upon request, we will be happy to send a photo of the specific piece you are ordering. It is possible to choose a specific piece.

The price of the meteorite includes a box and a certificate of authenticity.
