Lot 1434
Lunar Meteorite Moon Dust Jewelry. A very important discovery was made in the Sahara Desert in July 2007 when meteorite hunters came upon the largest, freshest, and most important of all Lunar meteorites found up to that point. It was nicknamed "the rock" and weighed over 25 pounds. This meteorite was determined to be from the Lunar highlands region and given the designation NWA 5000 to set it apart from all other meteorites. The complete meteorite is in the Hupe Collection and most of it will be preserved or sent to many institutions for study. This 0.8 inch glass vial with a sterling silver screw top contains a generous 50 milligrams of cut material from this important Lunar meteorite. The meteorite pieces are in the form of small to large grains and are light gray in color. This silver vial has been hung on an 18 inch leather cord that would be fashionable for both men and women and comes with an authenticity card from the Hupe Collection.
