Lot Essay

Apollo astronauts returned with 382 kilograms of Moon rocks, all of which are in institutional holdings. (Lunar meteorites represent the only Moon rocks available for collectors, see lot 205.) This most-intriguing of specimens was collected on the Lunar surface in December 1972 as part of humanity's last manned mission to the Moon, Apollo 17.

Troctolite 76535 is without doubt the most interesting sample returned from the Moon! It is a colorful, pristine, coarse-grained, plutonic rock that has had a slow cooling history. It is very old and has not been damaged by shock events. 76535 was collected as part of a rake sample at Station 6. This sample has been widely distributed, but its origin is still debated.
