I love lunar stuff and I've recenly acquired 2g of the
stuff (thanks Greg). While NWA 482 is gorgeous, I have
to say that my 266mg Dho1084 remains my personal
favourite and is likely to remain that way for some
time.
Dho 1084 looks identical to some of the Apollo return
Breccias. so much so that Al Bean (Apollo 12, now
that's name dropping) recognised it immediately when I
showed him it. "Wow! I recognise that, it's a breccia"
