Hello Rob, et al.
My opinion, this is not real.
All lunar samples returned by the Apollo missions are property of the US
government. None were given to engineers. The federal government did give
some samples to certain other countries as a gift to the people of the
country.
The story about the planetary geologist sounds too stupid to be believable.
NASA did hold an auction a few years ago to get rid of some old hardware but
NEVER moon rocks.
The story about the tape and film canister is true. I believe the
technician's is Terry Slezak. This is widely known among space
artifact/memorabilia collectors..

Probably impossible to tell from the pictures, but what are the odds
that
this is truly Apollo material?
