Description

Own a Piece of the Moon — Lunar Meteorite Laâyoune 002

  • Genuine lunar meteorite in removable specimen jar
  • Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
  • Freestanding acrylic educational display
  • Black cotton-padded box, perfect for gifting

This authentic specimen is a fragment of Laâyoune 002, a lunar meteorite officially identified as a feldspathic breccia. It was discovered in the Western Sahara Desert and confirmed to be of lunar origin by the University of Washington.

Each fragment features a gray lunar surface, with some accented by weathered brown areas, bright mineral clasts or rare metallic grains — uncommon even among lunar meteorites. These clasts are remnants of the Moon’s primordial crust, shaped by ancient volcanic activity and high-energy impacts over billions of years. 

Lunar meteorites are extraordinarily rare, making up less than 1% of all meteorites found on Earth. They’re significantly rarer than gold or diamonds, and each specimen is completely unique. This particular fragment began its existence on the Moon before a powerful impact launched it into space, eventually landing here on Earth after a journey of thousands of miles.

Key Facts:

  • Meteorite name: Laâyoune 002
  • Origin: The Moon (feldspathic breccia)
  • Find location: Saguia el Hamra, Western Sahara
  • Rarity: Less than 1% of all meteorites are lunar

We have several authentic fragments of Laâyoune 002 available, typically 0.2-0.5 cm in size. You will receive our choice from the available samples. Whether displayed on your desk, in a cabinet of curiosities, or alongside your telescope, this meteorite is a conversation piece that connects you directly to another world.
