Complete Slice of the Moon Rock “Gadamis 004” An extraordinary and highly prized slice of a Moon Rock, called ‘Gadamis 004’ and was discovered by desert nomads near the oasis town of Ghadames, Libya, in 2022. This sample is a thin slice of rock with brecciated texture. The clasts within the breccia are grey to white, in a dark grey to black matrix. The visible edge appears to show a fusion crust. Weight: ca. 134 gram. LOCATION: Libya, near town of Ghadames. (30° 17' 2"N, 11° 0' 18"E) Size: ca. 16.5 x 12.3 x 0.5 cm. PROVENANCE: German Private Collection. This lunar ‘Gadamis 004’ meteorite comes with a certificate of meteorite identification from the University of Alberta and is signed by dr. Christopher Herd, professor and curator of the University of Alberta Meteorite Collection. NOTE: – Breccia is a rock composed of angular, coarse fragments of older rock held together by a fine-grained groundmass, recrystallized minerals, or impact-melted glass matrix – In 2022 an unusual 12-kilogram rock was found by desert nomads near the desert oasis of Gadamis, Libya. After the ‘rock’ was analyzed by NASA researcher and Director of the Institute of Meteoritics, Dr. Carl Agee and also the Meteoritical Society, both confirmed that the ‘rock’ was a Moon rock, it was named ‘Gadamis 004’ and was published in the journal of record, the Meteoritical Bulletin. – ‘Gadamis 004’ arrived on Earth after having been ejected off the lunar surface following an asteroid impact in the lunar highlands. Moreover, ‘Gadamis 004’ is extremely similar to the ferroan anorthositic specimens recovered by the Apollo 16 astronauts. – Scientists identify Moon rocks by specific textural, mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic signatures. – Moonstones are among the rarest objects on Earth; Of the 1,400 kg known to exist, more than 40% is inviolable, and that includes all the Apollo material. All the pieces of moon rocks together could fit in the trunk of a large SUV. – This slice of a moon rock comes with a beautiful custom-made display.
