This display features two rare planetary meteorite specimens - fragments of the Lunar meteorite NWA 11788 and the Martian meteorite NWA 2975. Each fragment is encased in an acrylic gemjar. The gemjars are set into the display box against a color photo of the planet Mars and the Moon.
NWA 11788 is a lunar achondrite that was recovered from the remote Saharan desert of Mali. NWA 2975 is a basaltic shergottite that was recovered out of the Algerian Sahara. Both of these specimens are authentic pieces of another world, the Moon and Mars.
