--Feldspathic Breccia--
Lunar feldspathic breccia is a type of Moon rock composed primarily of fragmented anorthositic material, rich in feldspar, that was fused together by ancient impact events. These breccias typically originate from the lunar highlands, where repeated collisions pulverized and reassembled crustal rocks into a mix of angular clasts and fine-grained matrix. Often exhibiting shades of light gray to off-white with darker inclusions, feldspathic breccias provide valuable insights into the Moon’s early crustal evolution and intense bombardment history.
--Lunar Meteorites--
Pieces of the Moon, right here on Earth! These meteorites were ejected from the lunar surface by asteroid impacts. They're incredibly rare and offer both scientists and collectors a chance to hold a piece of our celestial companion without the need for a space mission.
