LUNAR METEORITE - ARIDAL 017 FOR SALE

The Aridal 017 Lunar meteorite, classified as a feldspathic breccia, was discovered in sandy soil in the Rio de Oro region of Western Sahara, Morocco. It was collected just several meters from the find site of Northwest Africa 10608, and is likely paired with that earlier discovery made by desert truffle hunters. The stone was later purchased by Dr. David D. Gregory in September 2016 from a Moroccan dealer at the Denver Show. It consists of a single grayish specimen weighing 590 grams, notable for lacking a fusion crust but displaying a glossy external patina. Its fresh interior reveals small whitish clasts set within a dark-gray matrix.
