This is a newly found lunar meteorite called NEA 104. It was found in Northeast Africa in 2025. It was purchased from a dealer in Libya. There are 20 kilos. This is 1 of 13 approved meteorites classified as lunar troctolite melt breccia!
Petrography: The meteorite consists of a coarse- and a fine-grained lithology both predominantly composed of anorthosite clasts (coarse: up to 4 mm, fine up to 1.5 mm), olivine aggregates (coarse: up to 1.5 mm, fine up to 0.5 mm, and subordinate Ca-rich pyroxene grains set in abundant plagioclase-rich melt rock matrix. Anorthosite is partly transformend into maskelynite. While parts of the melt are glassy showing some flow textures, other regions are recrystallized to small often lath-shaped plagioclase crystals. Olivine aggregates are mostly composed of numerous subgrains with slightly variable composition. Ca-pyroxene appears to be more common in the coarse-grained lithology. Minor phases include chromite, ilmenite, and kamacite.
