Rare Dhofar 490 Lunar Meteorite Slice Moon Rock Oman Genuine Space Rock Specimen
£ 600.00
RARE GENUINE DHOFAR 490 LUNAR METEORITE SLICE FROM OMANThis rare genuine Dhofar 490 Lunar Meteorite Slice is an authentic fragment of
the Moon recovered from the Dhofar region of Oman. Weighing 0.104 grams, this exceptional extraterrestrial specimen represents genuine lunar material ejected from the Moon’s surface by ancient impact events before eventually landing on Earth.The exact meteorite shown in the photographs is the specimen you will receive. This carefully selected lunar meteorite includes a fully hand-signed Premium Certificate of Authenticity confirming the specimen is completely genuine.Please refer to the photographs for full sizing and scale. ABOUT DHOFAR 490 LUNAR METEORITESDhofar 490 is officially classified as a lunar meteorite, meaning it originated directly from the Moon. Lunar meteorites are among the rarest and most scientifically important meteorites available, representing naturally ejected fragments of the lunar crust that travelled through space before falling to Earth.Unlike Apollo mission samples, lunar meteorites are naturally delivered Moon rocks discovered in terrestrial environments, providing valuable scientific information about regions of the Moon not sampled during human exploration missions.Dhofar 490 was recovered from the Dhofar region of Oman, one of the world’s most productive meteorite recovery areas due to its arid desert environment and excellent preservation conditions. The meteorite is believed to have been blasted from the lunar surface by a major asteroid impact event, escaping the Moon’s gravity before eventually entering Earth’s atmosphere.Lunar meteorites are exceptionally rare compared to ordinary meteorites, with only a very small percentage of all known meteorites confirmed to originate from the Moon. LUNAR GEOLOGICAL COMPOSITION AND STRUCTUREDhofar 490 consists of genuine lunar crustal material formed through volcanic and impact-related geological processes on the Moon over billions of years. Lunar meteorites commonly contain minerals such as plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, olivine, ilmenite, and impact-generated breccia material formed through repeated asteroid bombardment on the lunar surface.Many lunar meteorites display brecciated textures, meaning they are composed of fragmented rock clasts fused together by ancient impact events. These impact processes are characteristic of the heavily cratered lunar environment, where repeated collisions continually reshaped the Moon’s crust over geological time.Polished slices may reveal subtle mineral contrasts, impact melt textures, brecciated structures, and fine crystalline details preserved within the lunar rock. Natural colouration often includes pale grey, beige, charcoal, off-white, or darker mineral-rich zones depending on mineral composition and impact history.Because the Moon lacks atmosphere and active weather systems, lunar rocks preserve geological records of ancient impact processes spanning billions of years of solar system history. EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORIGIN AND LUNAR EJECTIONLunar meteorites form when massive asteroid or comet impacts strike the Moon with sufficient force to eject debris beyond lunar escape velocity. Some of this material enters independent solar orbits before eventually intersecting Earth’s gravitational field and surviving atmospheric entry as meteorites.The Dhofar region of Oman has produced several significant lunar meteorite recoveries due to the dry desert conditions and stable preservation environment. The pale desert surface assists in identifying dark extraterrestrial stones against the surrounding terrain.Every lunar meteorite is scientifically important because genuine Moon rocks remain among the rarest naturally occurring geological materials available on Earth. Specimens such as Dhofar 490 provide collectors and researchers with direct access to authentic lunar material without the need for space missions. APPEARANCE AND NATURAL FEATURESThis lunar meteorite slice displays the characteristic appearance associated with authentic Moon rock material, including fine-grained matrix textures, brecciated structures, mineral inclusions, and natural impact-related features formed on the lunar surface.Depending on cut orientation and preservation, visible structures may include fragmented clasts, lighter feldspathic zones, darker impact melt material, or subtle crystalline textures preserved within the specimen.The polished surface enhances visibility of the meteorite’s internal lunar geology while maintaining the completely natural extraterrestrial composition of the specimen.As a genuine lunar meteorite formed on the Moon billions of years ago, every specimen is entirely unique in structure, mineral distribution, and appearance. EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTOR LUNAR METEORITELunar meteorites are among the most sought-after meteorites in the world due to their rarity, scientific significance, and direct connection to the Moon. Genuine Moon rock specimens are highly prized by meteorite collectors, planetary science enthusiasts, museums, and natural history collectors.This specimen is ideal for:
• Meteorite and space rock collections
• Lunar meteorite collections
• Planetary science displays
• Museum-style natural history displays
• Educational astronomy collections
• Space exploration collections
• Gifts for meteorite collectors and astronomy enthusiasts
• Rare extraterrestrial material collectionsIts verified lunar origin and rarity make this an especially important and collectable specimen. GENUINE LUNAR METEORITE SPECIMENThis RARE Dhofar 490 Lunar Meteorite Slice from Oman is a genuine carefully selected specimen chosen for its authenticity, rarity, and display appeal.The exact meteorite shown in the photographs is the specimen you will receive. Every meteorite supplied by us is 100% genuine and includes a fully hand-signed Premium Certificate of Authenticity, providing confidence in the authenticity and lunar origin of this extraordinary Moon rock specimen.
