hi list, this week i had lunar on the brain, i ordered and received from
labenne brothers a 0.056 gram dhofar 280 lunar anorthositic highland
breccia.as a produce clerk this seems to be the biggest boulder i can
afford.on the net i found out several things about the lunar area. the
apollo missions brought back many rocks of largely 2 types basalts and
breccias, but also a few special finds including white crystaline
anorthosite and impact melts. just a few samples of really upper mantle
rock.
 i viewed pictures of lunar meteorite slabs and noticed the highland
ones were black/gray and found out made of around 80% black anorthosite
type rock, why then is the highlands look white from the earth?the moon
surface must reflect alot of light? happy collecting david
