Unit price per1 low in stock
Estimated delivery between 28 December and 02 January.
This is a gorgeous part slice of the Dhofar 1085 meteorite. This material was found in 2003. This specimen weighs 0.040 gram and is housed in a membrane box for display. The known total weight is set at a minuscule 197 grams. This nice specimen of anorthositic (anorth) Lunar is 1 of only 78 approved meteorites classified as such.
The lunaites of this group comprised of Dho 908 and Dho 911 are from a very old meteorite fall, which can be recognized at the outer realm and the non existing melting crust. In the cut it shows however, that this lunaite is very fresh inside, maybe a result of the very high density of the material. It consists of a homogenous impact-melting glass in which are included a multitude of optically and scientifically very interesting clasts- brownish impact-melting, partially with very big white anorthite clasts, dark shock veins, as well as reddish and dark clasts of rare lunar stones (troctolites and norites)
This piece displays extremely well and is a very desirable type. This quality piece would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a specimen card and a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
