Business Value is essential to planning your future and maximizing opportunities. Although it may be the single most valuable asset they own, most business owners do not really know what their business is worth.

This photograph shows a small partial slice of the lunar meteorite Northwest Africa 10782 on display at MINES ParisTech, Museum of Mineralogy in Paris, France. The sample weighs 1.63 grams and measures 2 x 1.5 x 0.2 cm. The museum display allows visitors to touch this particular specimen of rock from the Moon . The picture was taken in October 2025.
Some feldspathic and pyroxene clasts are visible in the dark glassy basaltic matrix. The feldspathic igneous clasts have a texture resembling that seen in the Apollo 14 moon rock # 14310, only finer. It also has Fe/Mn ratios for its olivine and pyroxene crystals matching those of lunar samples.

The NWA 10782 meteorite was found as a single 39 gram stone in the region of Almabas, near the border between Morocco and Algeria in 2015. The rock had no visible fusion crust. It was purchased by Luc Labenne, who recognised it as a lunar meteorite.
The classifiers of the meteorite describe its petrography in the Meteoritical bulletin as a "breccia composed mainly of crystal clasts a few hundred um in size, with a few glassy to dendrite-bearing spherules about 1 mm in size. The matrix is very fine-grained, in some cases glass with schlieren, with vugs or vesicles. There are a few breccia clasts up to 4 mm, very fine grained (1-2 um) and in some cases with igneous textures (i.e. clast-laden melt rock clasts). Breccia clasts contain feldspathic igneous clasts with intersertal textures resembling Apollo 14310 but finer, as well as crystal clasts and rare lithic chips. Some pyroxene clasts show exsolution. Accessory minerals include troilite, ilmenite, a silica phase and, in the largest melt-rock, Ni bearing metal."
The Met.Bull. gives the following description of the meteorite's mineral compositions and geochemistry: - "The pyroxene compositions are Fs 36.7 Wo 7.6 to Fs 55.3 Wo 19.6, and the atomic Fe/Mn falls just below the UNM lunar line with average ration 71. Both magnesian and ferroan olivine clasts are present, with FeO/MnO of 103 falling just below the lunar value. Spinel contains ~ 40 wt% Cr2O3. Plagioclase is An 93.6 Ab 6.2 Or 0.2. The glassy matrix is basaltic (sensu lato)."
The Northwest Africa 10782 meteorite is classified as a lunar breccia. The meteorite contains anorthite with olivine and pyroxene Fe/Mn ratios matching lunar. As it contains Ni-rich metal, glass spherules and breccia clasts it is classified as a regolith breccia.
According to the website of the Earth and Planetary Sciences department of Washington University in St. Louis, NWA 10782 is paired with some 25 different named stones of the NWA 7834 clan of lunar meteorites, totalling over 21 Kg.
This is my best example of texture because the texture of the shoe is evidently shown in the picture. The close up view emphasises on the texture of the shoe rather than the what is around it.
This picture is supposed to convey how little kids are trying to grow up so fast. I wanted it to be comical while at the same time make people think about this problem today.
The reason I thought this was an interesting example of value is because the value changes in this picture are not intentional. This is the spine of another book at Waldo Library. The book is bound in dark brown leather, but there are some changes in value due to use and old age. There is a lighter tint in some areas of the spine, showing that the it has been handled by a lot of people over a long period of time. It is monochromatic because it is one color (brown).
