About Lunar Meteorites In the early 1980s, Japanese and American researchers discovered the first lunar meteorites in the ice fields of Antarctica. Subsequently, several others have been recovered from the hot deserts of Australia, Africa, and Oman. All of these meteorites were found to exhibit mineral compositions similar to the samples returned by the Apollo and Luna missions, proving their lunar origin beyond any doubt. Lunar meteorites are of major scientific importance because most of them originate from areas of the Moon that were not sampled before. Most lunar meteorites in our collections have been blasted off the lunar highlands that cover the far side of the Moon — areas never visited by any Apollo mission. NWA 10203 is an officially classified lunar meteorite listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin database — one of the rarest materials on Earth, and now it could be yours.
