1.74 gr Lunar Meteorite “Bechar 003” – Sculpted Slice of the Lunar Highlands

Rarity and Value
This specimen of “Bechar 003” represents an exceptional example of lunar feldspathic breccia — one of the rarest types of meteorites ever recovered on Earth. Each fragment encapsulates the violent geological processes that shaped the Moon’s surface over billions of years. Its fine-grained matrix, enriched with feldspar and pyroxene, reveals a story of cosmic impact and rebirth — a tangible relic of our planet’s celestial neighbor.

Discovery and Acquisition
Discovered in Algeria in 2022, Bechar 003 was scientifically confirmed as lunar through precise geochemical and mineralogical analyses. Every inclusion within the stone is a chronicle of extraterrestrial events — frozen droplets of molten lunar crust formed under unimaginable pressure and temperature. The find stands as a testament to human curiosity and the global quest to understand our place in the universe.

Craftsmanship and Presentation
Presented in a minimalist archival frame, the meteorite is carefully sealed and labeled to preserve both its integrity and provenance. Its irregular contours and crystalline sheen echo its journey through space — from a lunar highland impact to its final descent upon the sands of the Sahara. The elegant display allows the specimen’s natural beauty to command attention while remaining scientifically accurate.

Human Touch
Beyond its geological significance, this piece embodies humanity’s enduring desire to explore the unknown. To hold a fragment of the Moon is to bridge the infinite — linking art, science, and the timeless pursuit of discovery.
