NWA 16372 is a rare Lunar Troctolitic Anorthosite purchased in 2023 after recovery from Northwest Africa. It represents material from the Moon’s ancient crust, combining feldspar-rich Anorthosite with olivine-bearing Troctolitic components. With a reported mass of 1.2 kg from a single piece, NWA 16372 is a limited and well-documented Lunar meteorite that provides direct access to a less common Lunar rock type. The Meteoritical Bulletin records it as a Lunar meteorite classified as Troctolitic Anorthosite.

NWA 16372 specimens can show a desert-weathered exterior, while cut surfaces reveal a brecciated texture with grey-green clasts, darker shock melt, and vesicular features in some material. Reported mineralogy includes plagioclase, olivine, augite, and minor metal and sulfide phases, reflecting a complex Lunar history of crustal formation, impact processing, shock, and ejection from the Moon. Its Troctolitic Anorthosite classification distinguishes it from more common Lunar Feldspathic Breccias and Mare Basalts.

Studying NWA 16372 provides valuable insight into the diversity of Lunar crustal rocks, including the relationship between feldspathic highland material and olivine-rich igneous components. For collectors, it offers a scarce and visually distinctive Lunar meteorite with strong scientific context and a recognised classification. Each specimen represents genuine Moon rock, preserving a record of ancient crustal processes and repeated impacts on our nearest celestial neighbour.
