Found in southern Morocco in 2017, it originated in the feldspar-rich highlands of the lunar surface — the ancient, cratered terrain that covers much of the far side of the Moon and the majority of its southern hemisphere. The original stone weighed 4.430 kilograms; slices were removed for scientific study and separate sale, leaving the present main mass of 1.917 kilograms, with one beautifully polished cut surface revealing the specimen's internal geology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis particular specimen is a feldspar-rich breccia composed of multiple broken rock and mineral fragments produced over 4 billion years ago by repeated asteroid impacts onto the Moon. The diverse fragments, or clasts, became cemented together during burial and recrystallisation within the lunar highlands crust — a record of the bombardment that shaped the early Solar System, preserved in the fabric of the stone itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo hold Rabt Sbayta 007 is to hold a surviving fragment of that process: a piece of the Moon's highland crust, assembled over geological time and delivered to Earth by the same forces that formed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joopiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48536119640313,"sku":"JP0626061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2783\/5385\/files\/JP0626061_1_9f58e67f-d325-4437-883a-215b4ab2e20d.jpg?v=1784038758","url":"https:\/\/shop.joopiter.com\/en-kr\/products\/lunar-meteorite-rabt-spayta-007","provider":"Joopiter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
