It was found in 2023 in the Adrar region of Algeria. The total recovered mass is approximately 3.15 kg, with the largest individual piece weighing about 3 kg.\nStructure and Mineral Composition\nThe Adrar 013 meteorite consists of grey-green to greenish fragments (clasts) enclosed in a molten anorthitic matrix showing clear flow and rapid-cooling textures. The main mineral phases are pigeonite, zoned augite and a smaller amount of olivine. Accessory minerals include ilmenite, chromite and troilite.\nThe meteorite shows a high degree of shock metamorphism and a low degree of weathering, indicating that it experienced a strong impact but remained well preserved after landing on Earth.\nOrigin and Scientific Significance\nThe structure and composition indicate that Adrar 013 originates da the lunar highlands and formed during a powerful impact event that melted and mixed original rocks into a single melt breccia. Such meteorites are extremely valuable as they provide insights into the geology of the lunar crust, the history of impact processes, and the chemical composition of the Moon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027674173765,"sku":"MEAD21","price":29.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/67615-2_lunar-meteorite-adrar-013---0-1g---algeria.jpg?v=1779377571","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/products\/lunar-meteorite-adrar-013-01g-algeria-mead21","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
