{"title":"Adrar 013 - Lunar Melt Breccia","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdrar 013 is a Lunar Melt Breccia purchased in 2023 after material was recovered in the Adrar region of Algeria. It represents genuine Moon rock formed from lunar material that was fragmented, melted, and reassembled during high-energy impact events on the Moon’s surface. With a reported total known weight of 3.15 kg, including a large 3 kg single stone, Adrar 013 is a limited and well-documented Lunar meteorite with strong collector and scientific interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdrar 013 specimens are typically greyish-greenish in appearance and are classified as Lunar Melt Breccia, more specifically described as an anorthositic norite-gabbro melt breccia. Prepared pieces can show clasts of Lunar material set within a melt-rich matrix, recording the intense impact processing that shaped the meteorite before it was eventually ejected from the Moon. This texture gives Adrar 013 a distinctive character compared with more familiar Lunar Feldspathic Breccias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying Adrar 013 provides valuable insight into impact melting, crustal mixing, and the geological history of the Lunar surface. For collectors, it offers a scarce Lunar meteorite with recognised classification, attractive texture, and clear Algerian provenance. Each specimen represents genuine material from the Moon, shaped by impact events over billions of years and naturally delivered to Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/adrar-013.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
