| Description |
English: Presenting the singular new 5.3kg Lunar Stone — NWA 14747: What a beauty! I'm over the moon.
It is an unpaired stone; a small sample was sliced off the bottom and sent to to the Met. Bull. but not yet published: “Classification: Lunar (anorthositic gabbronoritic melt breccia). Electron microprobe analysis and reflected light microscopy of a polished mount show this meteorite to be an anorthositic gabbronoritic melt breccia consisting primarily of fine-grained pigeonite with lesser amounts of subcalcic augite and olivine all of which are poikilitically enclosed in a plagioclase-rich vesicular melt rock host. Trace amounts of ilmenite, troilite, Fe-metal (low Ni), and CuZn-metal alloy were detected. Steve Jurvetson holds the main mass.” During Zooms I keep a hand on this large moon rock when I need to feel grounded. :) 5.3kg and dimensions 8.25” x 6” x 5.25” |
