Lunar Mingled Breccia Meteorite Section. This 10 X 8mm .218 gram section is from the important Lunar impact meteorite NWA 6355. Almost all of the recovered Lunar meteorites are very small and NWA 6355 found in Morocco in 2010 weighed just 760 grams. This important meteorite is classified as a Lunar Mixed Breccia. This Breccia is a mix several different types of moon rocks that were blasted off the surface of the moon from an impact with a fairly large meteorite and mixed together with molten vaporized rock and resolidified in a fine grain matrix. The black basalt matrix is sprinkled with lighter flakes from the other mixed in rocks. Presented in a 5 ½ X 4 ½ inch Riker mount. Estimated Value $250 - 400
