NWA 482, Northwest Africa, Lunar
| Lunar meteorite specimens
are some of the rarest of all meteorites. NWA 482 is the freshest and
(to me) the most beautiful of all the lunar meteorites. These part
slices are thin and show the true beauty of this meteorite. If you do
not have a lunar specimen in your collection, here is an opportunity to
add a prime example. These excellent part slices are priced to sell! |

classified as a Rumuruti, type 4. NWA 800 has outstanding
chondrules. |

I acquired a nice slice sometime ago and never got around to cutting it until
recently. NWA 2828 is classified as an Aubrite by The Meteoritical Society with
the location shown as either Mauritania or Algeria. Each of these partial
slices display quite nicely.
