Abstract Conditions related to the Moon's origin, size, and thermal history restrict its mineralogy to anhydrous species and species formed at low pressure and oxygen fugacity. Although lunar mineralogy is well known and well understood on the basis of the current suite of lunar samples, future exploration will reveal the global distribution, compositions, and concentrations of those minerals. Exploration of the lunar poles and compositionally anomalous regions such as volcanic domes may lead to discovery of new minerals or significant variations in the existing mineralogy.
