This type of rock is characterized by a high content of iron-rich plagioclase (anorthite) and has undergone extreme mechanical stress, which caused its fragmentation and the formation of a mosaic-like texture. The cataclastic texture is the result of impact events, which are typical for rocks originating from the lunar highlands.\nDiscovery and General Characteristics\nThe Gadamis 004 meteorite was discovered in 2022 near the city of Ghadames, Libya. The meteorite originally formed a single compact mass weighing approximately 12.66 kg. After its discovery, it was cut into several smaller fragments, part of which was used for laboratory analyses while the rest became collector material.\nMineralogical Composition and Comparison with Lunar Samples\nAnalyses have shown that the meteorite consists of 98–99% anorthitic plagioclase, with the remaining 1–2% composed of olivine and pyroxene. Its structure and composition indicate that it is a fragment of the lunar crust, probably ejected by an impact event. This combination of composition and texture closely resembles rocks returned from the Moon during the Apollo 16 mission.\nPaired Meteorites and Original Impact\nGadamis 004 belongs to a group of meteorites found in the same region – including Gadamis 002, 003, 005, and 006. Scientists believe that they originated from a single impact event on the Moon and fell to Earth as fragments of one larger body.\nLunar meteorites are among the rarest natural materials on Earth – only a few kilograms of these rocks exist outside the samples brought back by the Apollo missions. Even small fragments of Gadamis 004 are considered highly desirable collector’s specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027639144773,"sku":"MEGD14","price":128.63,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/60923_lunar-meteorite-gadamis-004---0-6g---libya.jpg?v=1779377491"},{"product_id":"lunar-meteorite-ash-shaqqah-002-15g-libya-mesh09","title":"Lunar meteorite Ash Shaqqah 002 – 1.5g – Libya - MESH09","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Lunar \/ troctolitic anorthosite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Libya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 22 x 17 x 2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of discovery: 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal known weight: 329 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: cut slice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsh Shaqqah 002 – One of the largest known lunar meteorites in the world\nAsh Shaqqah 002 is a significant lunar meteorite that was found in Libya in 2024. It is not an observed fall, but a find consisting of numerous fragments scattered across the desert region of northeastern Libya near the Jaghbub Oasis. The total recovered mass is approximately 329 kilograms, placing it among the largest known lunar meteorites. The material was recovered in the form of many pieces of various sizes, ranging from small fragments to blocks weighing tens of kilograms. Such a high mass is extremely rare among lunar meteorites.\nMineralogy and structure of the lunar breccia\nFrom a petrographic perspective, it is a brecciated troctolitic anorthosite. The dominant mineral is anorthitic plagioclase, which accounts for approximately 80% of the rock volume. Olivine is also present, along with smaller amounts of low-calcium pyroxene. The meteorite’s structure shows clear evidence of strong impact shock, typical of material ejected from the surface of the Moon during major collisions.\nOrigin in the lunar highlands\nThe chemical and mineralogical composition indicates that Ash Shaqqah 002 originates from the lunar highlands rather than from the dark basaltic mare regions. It is a rock that formed deep within the lunar crust during early magmatic processes and was later disrupted by impact events and ejected from the Moon’s surface during a large collision.\nExtent of the strewn field\nThe largest individual fragment of Ash Shaqqah 002, weighing nearly 49 kilograms, was recovered in early November. In the following weeks, through December, additional medium-sized and small fragments were gradually discovered, increasing the total recovered mass to approximately 329 kilograms. The meteorites were dispersed across an elliptical strewn field measuring roughly 5 × 3.5 kilometers, consistent with the breakup of the body during atmospheric entry. Most of the recovered material subsequently entered major private and institutional collections, where it is preserved for further scientific research and documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027645272389,"sku":"MESH09","price":90.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/66894_lunar-meteorite-ash-shaqqah-002---1-5g---libya.jpg?v=1779377504"},{"product_id":"lunar-meteorite-adrar-013-06g-algeria-mead22","title":"Lunar meteorite Adrar 013 – 0.6g – Algeria - MEAD22","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Lunar \/ melt breccia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Algeria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.6g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 17 x 10 x 2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of discovery: 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown total weight: 3.15 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface treatment: cut slice, polished on one side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: transparent plastic box (5.8 x 3.8 x 1.6 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILED DESCRIPTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdrar 013 Lunar Meteorite – Melt Breccia from the Lunar Highlands\nAdrar 013 is a lunar meteorite classified as a melt breccia – a rock composed of mixed fragments of lunar material that were re-melted during an impact event.

The total mass recovered is approximately 4 kg in several pieces.\nKey features\nThe Bechar 007 meteorite belongs to the group of lunar feldspathic breccias. It is a rock composed of fragments of the lunar crust, mainly plagioclase and other minerals such as pyroxenes and olivines. These fragments were once fused together on the Moon by impact processes, forming a breccia.\nThe shock stage is classified as S2, and the weathering grade is low, indicating that the sample is very well preserved. The external surface of the meteorite has areas with a yellowish altered coating, while the interior reveals gray and white fragments of lunar minerals.\nScientific and collectible significance\nMeteorites like Bechar 007 are extremely valuable because they carry material from the Moon without the need for space missions. Unlike samples brought back by astronauts, lunar meteorites found in various regions of Earth allow for the study of a broader spectrum of lunar rocks. Each such discovery expands our knowledge of the Moon's geology, its impact history, and the evolution of the lunar crust.\nFor collectors, Bechar 007 is a very attractive sample due to its origin and official classification.
