I have a question regarding Lunar meteorites. In many of the pics on various
websites I have noticed a reddish/brown color in the meteorites. I figured
that most would be more grayish and white. Is the reddish color from
terrestrial means? Does it oxidize after landing? Or is this
Dear Greg, and All,
The reddish, brown and pinkish colors of these lunars (particullary from
Oman) are from hematite staining, i.e., from terrestrial weathering.
Pristine lunars look more like this:

Thanks Everyone:
I really appreciate the detailed responses. That's what I suspected. Perhaps
the soils in Oman contain more iron based sediment, and the strewn fields there
are older. I always assumed that the iron within meteorites caused the
oxidation, but now it's clear that once any

Greg,
Interesting observation.
Recently, I asked the same question to Randy Korotev. As I recall he said it
was Earth oxidation.
I then looked at all of the pictures on his web site and noticed that the only
ones he shows with this red
color are the Oman examples. Most of them are listed as

This stone was observed by Henry de Lumley who is rather formal: it is about a
