Item for auction is a 1.31g fragment of NWA 11273 Feldspathic Breccia lunar meteorite. Material excavated from a site near Tindouf, Algeria was purchased by a consortium of collectors (Rob Wesel, Eric Twelker and Jason Phillips) in April 2017 from Moroccan dealers. A. Irving and S.

Rare basalt clasts and glass fragments are also present.
