It includes the certificate pictured as well. It looks like it was produced from a photomicrograph from a lunar sample, and was likely given to our family member along with the other commemorative items we have. I am interested in selling this piece and was curious if anyone might know anything about it.

They described it as follows: (20x20") The pattern on this multi colored scarf is a reproduction of a photomicrograph of a cross section of basalt from one of the lunar samples returned to earth by Apollo 11.
