Infinite Love pendant center stone is a unique handcrafted Lunar Meteorite Pendant with center stone hand fashioned from a real piece of the Moon that was ejected by a meteorite impact on the surface of our Moon. The ejecta from that impact eventually landed on Earth as a meteorite. This lunar meteorite is classified as a Feldspathic Lunar Breccia, and was recovered from the dry deserts of Northwest Africa. This beautiful pendant was made from the beautiful lunar meteorite NWA 15368 and set in 925 Sterling Silver. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions \u003c\/strong\u003enot including bail\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 11.42mm x 11.74mm x 3.84mm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eincluding bail\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately\u003cspan\u003e 24.64\u003c\/span\u003emm x 11.74mm x\u003cspan\u003e 6.17\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial name:\u003c\/strong\u003e NWA 15368\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLunar Feldspathic Breccia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear Found:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mali\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParent body:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Moon - this material was ejected from our only natural satellite when the Moon was hit by another meteorite.

This is evidenced by the millions of craters that cover the moon's surface. Thankfully the bombardments have slowed down considerably in the last few hundred thousand years, but they still do occur from time to time. Lunar meteorites are material ejected from our Moon's surface when it gets hit by a meteorite. If the impact has enough energy, some of the ejecta gets thrown so far it escapes the Moon's gravity becoming meteoroids hurtling through space. Some of those lunar meteoroids have the potential to eventually fall into Earth's gravity well and go screaming through the atmosphere to hit the surface. Once they hit the Earth's surface, they earn the designation of being a \u003cem\u003emeteorite\u003c\/em\u003e. Much later, perhaps thousands of years later, an even smaller fraction of the meteorites that didn't fall into the oceans or onto unrecoverable terrain, are recovered by nomads and others who happen to find them. Nothing short of miraculous odds. To describe them as rare, is perhaps an understatement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pendant with center stone of lunar feldspathic breccia meteorite NWA15368, membrane storage\/shipping box, and signed Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTop Meteorite offers a 100% no questions asked 30 day return policy. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lpi.usra.edu\/meteor\/metbull.php?code=78457\" title=\"NWA 15368 Lunar Meteorite Meteoritical Bulletin Entry\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLINK TO OFFICIAL METEORITICAL SOCIETY ENTRY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eENTRY FROM METEORITICAL BULLETIN FOR NWA 15368\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tablefat\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" id=\"maintable\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eComments:\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003eApproved 12 Nov 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriteup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"inside\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"writeup\"\u003e\n\u003cbig\u003e\u003cu\u003eWriteup from MB 111\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/big\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorthwest Africa 15368\u003c\/strong\u003e (NWA 15368)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBIndent\"\u003e(Northwest Africa)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBIndent\"\u003ePurchased: January 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBIndent\"\u003eClassification: Lunar meteorite (frag. breccia)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory\u003c\/strong\u003e: Found in Mali by camel shepherds in January 2021 and subsequently purchased by Ahmed Salek and sold to an anonymous collector in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MBNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single stone with a dark exterior, one side partially covered in caliche.
