They represent stony achondrites from the Moon’s crust, compositionally similar to Apollo samples. They represent various regions of the Moon, including highlands and maria, ejected from the Lunar surface by impact, later falling to the Earth's surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eUnlike the Apollo samples, which remain property of the U.S. government, \"Bechar\" meteorites are among the few legal ways for private collectors to own lunar material.
