But how does a Lunar meteorite end up here on Earth?

Well, the answer may surprise you! Look up at the Moon, and you will see that it is covered in craters; this is because there is no tectonic plate movement, unlike here on Earth. These craters were caused after space debris crashed into the Moon over the course of its long life. When a sizeable object impacts the Moon, debris is flung into space. Eventually, some of this debris is caught by the Earth's gravitational pull and lands here on Earth. When this lunar rock tumbles to Earth, it becomes known as a meteorite. Hunters and collectors will go in search of said meteorites, but one must be very fortunate to find a lunar meteorite as they comprise less than 1% of all meteorites found here on Earth! Fascinating, isn't it?

Authentication Information: The moon dust contained within was collected while cutting a lunar meteorite. The meteorite was sourced from one of the most respected collectors of planetary meteorites in the world. The meteorites we use in our pendants have been analysed and authenticated by a top laboratory and given an official meteorite number, thus ensuring absolute authenticity. This serial number can be used on the International Society for Meteoritics and Planetary Science website, where a complete analysis and composition breakdown is publicly available.
