NWA 13859 is a Lunar Feldspathic Breccia purchased in Morocco in 2021 after recovery from Northwest Africa. It represents fragmented material from the Moon’s ancient crust, created and reworked by repeated impact events before a later impact ejected it into space. With a reported mass of 2.045 kg across several pieces, NWA 13859 is a recognised Lunar meteorite with strong scientific and collector interest.

NWA 13859 specimens typically show a brecciated texture, with a mixture of mineral and rock fragments set within a finer Lunar matrix. It is described as a Feldspathic Breccia and has also been noted for troctolite-rich material, giving some prepared pieces a varied and visually distinctive appearance. This combination of clasts and matrix reflects the impact-processed nature of the Lunar Highlands, where ancient crustal material has been fractured, mixed, shocked, and reassembled over billions of years.

Studying NWA 13859 provides valuable insight into the composition, impact history, and geological evolution of the Lunar Highlands. For collectors, it offers a documented Moon rock with both visual appeal and strong planetary significance. Each piece represents genuine material from the Moon, preserving a direct connection to the surface history of our nearest celestial neighbour.
