I wonder the value of a lunar rock??
Advertisements [?]
Apparently it's illegal to possess moon rocks, and also to sell them. I read where a Sotheby's auction of 0.2 grams of moon dust from a Soviet mission of the 1970's fetched $450.00.00.

That blew my mind.

I've an acquaintance with two rocks easily as big as grapes. I don't know how she got them but I held them in my hands, which was neat. I'm a bit of a space geek meself and was so blown away just to handle them.

She asked me the worth and I told her that she ought not advertise the fact that she possessed them. But if they are what she purports them to be I reckon they'd be worth millions to the right buyer.

Shame she can't put them on ebay an watch the bids go up.

What do you thik DU??
