XL GABBRO LUNAR Meteorite (Melt Breccia). ADRAR 013 (Algeria, 2023). Amazing! - 54.2 g

Lunar meteorites from the gabbro class represent rare fragments of the Moon's crust that have traveled millions of kilometers before landing on Earth. Gabbro is a coarse-grained igneous rock, and when found as a meteorite, it offers a tangible connection to lunar geology. Melt breccias are formed by impact events that melt and fuse rock fragments together, preserving a record of cosmic collisions. The Adrar 013 specimen, found in Algeria in 2023, exemplifies this fascinating category, combining scientific importance with collector appeal. Lunar meteorites provide valuable insight into the Moon’s formation, composition, and history, making them exceptional for study and display in museums or personal collections interested in planetary science and space exploration.
