Information: The Adrar 013 meteorite, discovered in 2023 in Adrar Province, Algeria. It is an anorthositic gabbro-type melt breccia originating from the lunar highlands. Its anorthite-rich composition, along with pigeonite, augite, and olivine, reflects cooling and differentiation processes in the ancient lunar crust, far from lava seas. The sample displays gray-green clasts embedded in a melt matrix, offering evident flow textures and a unique window into the lunar interior. With a total weight of 3.15 kg, Adrar 013 is an exceptional specimen, coveted by collectors and scientific studies for its rarity and educational value. Mars, the Red Planet in the palm of your hand.
