Mohamed,
Depending on the locale, it may be a sample of Troctolite or "Trout Stone. 
Found in just a few places, Poland, Scotland, Montana and Oklahoma, USA, 
Harz/Germany.

>From the "Handbook of Rocks and Minerals" Walter Schumann, he describes it to 
wit:

"Rare variety of gabbro with light colored plagioclase and olivine as the 
dark component. The speckle-like olivines are green OR when they occur as 
sepentine alteration products they are yellow, brownish, reddish, and black."

Fortunately Muhamed, your picture is of excellent resolution and color. If 
anyone else has this book, it's described on page 222, and also has an 
excellent accompanying picture. I know it sounds a bit silly to try and match 
up pics----but the likeness is there. Sorry, it doesn't appear lunar. 

If you want, Muhamed, email me off list and I can scan this picture and send 
it to you as an email attachment to your Hot Mail address, so you can put 
them side-by-side, and compare.

Best, 

Steven L. Sachs IMCA #9210
