Meteorite from the Moon

Thanks to the samples brought back by the Apollo missions, we can now identify the lunar origin of meteorites with remarkable accuracy. Although these rare lunar rocks are mostly owned by government institutions, there are other ways to bring the Moon within reach. When asteroids collide with the Moon, massive explosions can — and in rare cases still do — eject fragments of the lunar surface into space. Some of these fragments eventually fall to Earth as meteorites, after traveling for thousands of years.

Lunar meteorites make up less than 1% of all known meteorites, which makes them highly sought-after by both collectors and investors. In our collection, you’ll find unique specimens in various sizes and price ranges — from tiny fragments to the true gem of Czech collecting: EL ATCHANE 024, an officially classified lunar meteorite with no equal in the Czech Republic.
