Aloha Meteorite lovers,

The Big Kahuna is pleased to announce the availability of two affordably beautiful lunar meteorites.

NWA 8277 is a lunar meteorite found in Morocco in 2013. This meteorite features a brecciated texture with white feldspar and green-brown pyroxene and olivine grains (up to 3 mm) set in a dark gray-green matrix. Microprobe examination of polished mount shows a fragmental breccia of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine grains in a wide range of grain sizes. NWA 8277 is an awesome mingled breccia that is a feast for the eyes.

NWA 8687 is a lunar meteorite found in Morocco in 2013, from which the original specimen was a single stone with no fusion crust, with an irregular sandblasted exterior featuring numerous light- and dark-colored clasts. Saw cut reveals brecciated texture with white feldspar and green-brown pyroxene and olivine grains (up to 3 mm) set in a dark gray-green matrix. Microprobe examination of polished mount shows a fragmental breccia of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine grains in a wide range of grain sizes. The groundmass is variable with some domains showing a uniform fine-grained subophitic plagioclase-pyroxene texture, while other domains show densely packed mineral clasts ranging from 10-300 ?m. This is a fantastic breccia that features anorthositic and gabbroic clasts.
