This is a genuine Ash Shaqqah 002 Lunar Meteorite, an officially classified lunar specimen from Tubruq, Libya, recognized in 2024 by the Meteoritical Bulletin. Lunar meteorites are created when powerful impacts eject material from the Moon’s surface into space, with only a very small number eventually landing on Earth.
Ash Shaqqah 002 is classified as a Lunar Troctolitic Anorthosite, a rare lunar rock type associated with the Moon’s ancient crust. With a total known mass of approximately 329 kg worldwide, this material is limited and highly sought after by serious collectors.
This specimen weighs 22.80 grams, making it a substantial and impressive piece of the Moon. It displays natural surface textures formed during its journey through space and Earth’s atmosphere, offering a direct and tangible connection to lunar geology.
