A Rare Authentic Achondrite Lunar Breccia Olivine Gabbro / Mixed Mingled meteorite, Found by Starchasers Meteorites August 2005, ILLinois USA. This beautifull Lunar meteorite has been under study for approx 3 years putting the correct test results together to offer this classification. Classified by Starchasers Meteorite Curator Mitchell R. Minor. Main mass weighed in at over 11,150 lbs ! Worlds largest Lunar meteorite found on Earth to date! Isotopic analyses oxygen isotopes performed on Thermo finnigan delta V Plus = d18O + 5.64 d17O + 2.94. Oxygen Isotopes plot off of the Terrestrial Fractionation Line, and firmly place this meteorite of Lunar origin. The oxygen isotopes are a comparable match to Lunar Meteorites NWA 032, and NWA 479 which has a d18O + 5.63 d17O +2.92. We have completed 3 more oxygen isotopes on this Lunar meteorite analyses = (1) d17O +2.98 d18O +5.92, (2)d17O +2.32 d18O +4.56, (3) d17O +2.22 d18O + 4.30. The 4 oxygen isotopes plot within Lunar isotopic fields. The SM-30 Magnetic Susceptibility Mean Log X = 4.07.
