.175 gram part slice. TKW is197 grams. Lunar (anorth)

Doug writes:
Lunar feldspathic impact-melt breccia. The dark melt glass veins in this slice really convey the impact-melt formation of this breccia. It's also one of the most colorful lunars, mostly as a result of hematite staining over the course of its >300k year terrestrial residence.

It's an awesome piece! The dark melt glass veins are particularly impressive, also as stated, the colors are amazing.
