All our moon dust is purchased from the International Meteorite Collectors Association (I.M.C.A.) director. The I.M.C.A. is a nonprofit corporation that adheres to the strictest standards of authenticity. The buyer has been a member of the I.M.C.A. since the beginning, his IMCA number is 2185, which can be referenced on the I.M.C.A. website at http://imca.cc/

How do we know it is a real piece of the Moon? The moon is constantly hit by meteorites itself and with no atmosphere and little gravity, larger impacts will eject lunar rocks into space. After this impact, this meteorite will eventually be brought down to Earth by the Earth's gravitational pull. Scientists and universities all around the world examine meteorites and compare them with a known lunar material, e.g. samples collected during the Apollo missions. The composition of gases and isotopes found is so unique that they can say for sure the material originated from the moon

The Meteorite is believed to have fallen between 4,000 and 6,000 years ago and has been classified as a coarse octahedrite (IAB). "Coarse" refers to the large size of the metallic crystals that make the meteorite. When the meteorite entered the atmosphere and broke apart in flight (and on the impact with earths surface) the crystals were ripped apart along their boundary plains, giving the flat surfaces and right angles seen in many specimens.
