Meteorites From the Moon and Mars, The two most desirable meteorites come from the Moon and Mars. The only way to own a piece of the Moon and Mars is to acquire a part of one of the rare meteorites that originated when a very large meteorite impacted their surface ejecting small rocks out into space that eventually made their way to Earth as a meteorite. As you might expect these lunar and Martian meteorites are quite rare. This lot contains a small 3mm x 2mm section Martian meteorite DAG 476 that was found in the Libyan desert in May 1998 and a 2mm x 2mm section of the Lunar meteorite Dhofar 461 that was found in the Sahara desert in Oman on April 22, 2001. Both meteorite sections come with certificates of authenticity with pictures of the entire meteorite and are protected in 4 x 3 inch Riker boxes.
