Aridal 017 Lunar Meteorite Slice

Own a piece of the Moon. The Aridal 017 is a genuine Lunar meteorite discovered in 2016 in the Aridal region of Morocco, one of the world's most prolific meteorite hunting grounds. This extraordinary fragment was blasted off the surface of the Moon billions of years ago by a powerful asteroid impact, sending it on an epic journey through space before finally landing on Earth.

Classified as a Lunar Feldspathic Breccia, Aridal 017 is composed of ancient crustal material from the Moon's highlands — the oldest and most primitive terrain on the lunar surface. Its striking texture is a mosaic of fragmented minerals fused together under the immense heat and pressure of countless cosmic collisions, telling a story billions of years in the making. The rock is dominated by plagioclase feldspar, giving it a pale, almost ghostly appearance that is instantly unlike anything found on Earth.

What confirms its Lunar origin is its precise chemical and mineral fingerprint. Scientists identify Lunar meteorites by comparing their oxygen isotope ratios, mineral composition and trace element chemistry directly against rock samples returned by NASA's Apollo missions. Aridal 017 matched this fingerprint exactly — its high anorthosite content, low iron levels and unique isotopic signature leaving no doubt of its origin on the surface of the Moon.

Only a handful of meteorites have ever been confirmed as Lunar in origin, making them rarer than gold and among the most coveted specimens in the world of collecting. This beautifully prepared 2.73" wide slice has been cut thin and polished to a smooth matte finish, offering an intimate and elegant window into the geology of another world. A once in a lifetime addition to any collection.
