Lot Highlights

Lunar meteorites are among the rarest celestial treasures, with only about 140 known specimens. The NWA 13974 meteorite, discovered in North-West Africa, is one of these extraordinary finds.

Rarity and Value
Lunar meteorites like NWA 13974 are incredibly rare and highly sought after. With only a limited number of known lunar meteorites, owning a piece of NWA 13974 offers a unique connection to the Moon and the cosmic events that shaped its surface.

Discovery
The NWA 13974 meteorite was discovered in North-West Africa, an area renowned for significant meteorite finds. These fragments are formed when large cosmic bodies collide with the Moon, causing lunar rock to be ejected into space. Some of these fragments eventually reach Earth, where they are meticulously identified and classified by experts.

Human Touch
The meteorite features a light gray surface with a metallic sheen, marked by regmaglypts—depressions formed as the meteorite passed through Earth’s atmosphere. Its composition is breccia of volcanic origin, containing a mix of mineral clastic material, which tells the story of its lunar journey.

Certification and Authenticity
NWA 13974 comes with certificates of authenticity, including examination results from recognized institutions and licenses for export from the UAE. These documents verify the meteorite’s origin and ensure that it is legally sourced and genuine.
