On September 14, 2025, it was officially approved and added to the international meteorite database. The main mass weighs 4.83 kg and belongs to the rare group of feldspathic melt breccias – lunar rocks formed by melting and mixing materials during an impact on the Moon’s surface.\nComposition and origin\nThe meteorite contains plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine, minerals typical for the lunar highlands. It also features melt domains with sharp boundaries against the surrounding matrix, indicating rapid cooling after the impact event.\nStructure and characteristics\nEl Atchane 024 is a heterogeneous breccia composed of anorthositic fragments, mineral clasts, and crystallized melt. Under polarized light, you can observe microlitic textures and fine grain structures typical for this type of lunar material.\nRarity and significance\nThanks to its verified provenance, rare classification, and well-documented mineralogy, El Atchane 024 is considered a highly valuable meteorite lunare. It represents a unique opportunity to own a true frammento of the Moon’s crust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027695014213,"sku":"MEAT16","price":203.68,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/63575_lunar-meteorite-el-atchane-024---1-2g---algeria.jpg?v=1779377624","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/products\/lunar-meteorite-el-atchane-024-12g-algeria-meat16","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
