The image appears to show a fragment of a lunar meteorite, specifically NWA 13974. This type of meteorite is a feldspathic breccia, which means it's composed of fragments of other rocks that have been fused together.
Here's what makes this identification likely:
Appearance:
The meteorite has a dark gray to black matrix with lighter, angular clasts (fragments) embedded within it. This is characteristic of brecciated lunar meteorites.
Desert Patina:
Meteorites found on the surface often have a brown-black, shiny desert patina from weathering, while those found just below the surface can have a whitish exterior. The image shows a dark exterior, indicating surface exposure.
Composition:
NWA 13974 is primarily composed of anorthite, a type of feldspar, with some olivine. It also contains small amounts of metallic flakes and calcite inclusions.
Origin:
Lunar meteorites like NWA 13974 are pieces of the Moon that were ejected by asteroid impacts and eventually landed on Earth
Brings luck!
