Interesante ejemplar. Como tambien el otro lunar que mostraste. Solo que vigila los textos que acompa*an. Ya ves que puedes entrar en jardines donde no toca. Saludos desde Barcelona

No seas pretensioso hombre hay colecciones en Espa*a que dejan tu coleccion privada "aunque le llames museo" a la altura de una babucha Para tu informacion la pieza lunar mas grande en colecciones espa*olas pesa casi 2 kg y no la tienes tu. La humildad es la mayor de las virtudes Jose

Very Nice Specimen! A beautiful olivine gabbro with abundant melt veins. And I also see little spots of the breccia lithology on the edges!
