A 12.49g complete individual of Tisserlitine 001, presented in a PolandMet GemBox with a display card. Like most stones from this find it is thin, giving a good view of the lunar material for its weight.
Tisserlitine 001 is a Lunar Feldspathic Breccia found in the Kidal region of Mali, close to the Algerian border, beginning in December 2019. With a reported total mass of 57.41 kg, it is one of the larger Lunar meteorite finds and represents genuine Moon rock from the ancient Lunar Highlands. Its Feldspathic Breccia classification indicates feldspar-rich crustal material that was fragmented, mixed, and reworked by repeated impacts on the Moon.
Specimens of Tisserlitine 001 typically show dark exteriors with brecciated interiors containing a mixture of mineral and rock fragments set within a finer Lunar matrix. Published descriptions also note unusual alteration features in some material, adding scientific interest beyond its already significant Lunar origin. Prepared pieces can reveal the varied clasts and impact-processed texture that record billions of years of activity on the Moon’s surface.
For collectors, Tisserlitine 001 offers a recognised and substantial Lunar meteorite with strong scientific context and good availability compared with smaller Moon rock finds. Its Lunar Highlands origin, brecciated texture, and documented Malian provenance make it especially appealing for Moon rock and planetary meteorite collections. Each specimen represents genuine material from the Moon, naturally delivered to Earth after an extraordinary journey through space.
How the scales and gridlines work.
Each small square is 1x1mm, and each bold-lined square is 10x10mm, or 1cm² (1 square centimetre).
Imperial measurements.
1 inch is easy to figure because it is about 25 small squares, which is 2½ bold squares.
The piece shown in the photo on the left (a Gebel Kamil Iron) is about 70mm from left to right, which is about 2¾ inches, and around 60mm (about 2⅓ inches) from top to bottom.
Please note that any scale cubes, measuring grids, stands, or photographic props shown in listing images are used for display and size reference purposes only and are not included unless specifically stated.
