This is one of my favorites. :) Iarense, lunar basalts are sometimes slightly attracted to a magnet (more so than feldspathic lunars due to higher iron content), but the attraction is weak.

Great Piece of a Lunar Basalt. We need to see more planetary meteorite from you Peter. Very nice photo of a great meteorite. Keep up sending nice photos. We also need to see main masses.

Beautiful lunar mare basalt! Its major-element composition is similar to mare basalts collected during Apollo 15. But NWA 032 has a higher concentration of olivine phenocrysts (like the one at upper right)!
