NWA 15367 Lunar Meteorite End Cut Lunar (melt breccia)...
NWA 15367 Lunar Meteorite End Cut Lunar (melt breccia) Northwest Africa Found: 2021 Sometimes a fine specimen will truly "have it all," which is the case with this absolutely spectacular lunar offering. A massive end-cut weighing 965.1 grams (2.1 pounds), this piece is simply gorgeous, with many superlative attributes, including a phenomenal shape, a beautifully polished display face, with a myriad of amazing white and gray clasts of various sizes, and a rugged planetary exterior with a second cut window face. The meteorite measures 7.5 inches (19 cm) and has lots of dimensionalities. This piece causes a gasp at first sight and checks all the boxes for a serious rock from the Moon. This deserves all accolades, but it also stands in its own right without much need for further explanation. This melt breccia, only just found in 2021, is museum-worthy in both size and quality but is also centerpiece material for a collector's case. Representing the NWA 15367 classification, this sizable space offering really does look like a Moon rock. Measurements: 7.48 x 4.49 x 2.47 inches (19.00 x 11.40 x 6.28 cm), weighs 965.1 grams HID09710052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
