Analysis of all samples returned by lunar missions before Apollo 15 has shown green glasses of ultramafic composition in soil and microbreccia samples. Ultramafic glasses in Apollos 11 and 14 and Luna 16 samples are rare and similar to each other in composition but different from any of the rocks collected at these sites. Details of work regarding Apollo 15 ultramafic green glasses are discussed together with questions of the origin of all green glasses.
