Feeling much like a fish out of water, I was in search for some surf in Tucson.
Looking for waves in landlocked Tucson sounds like an exercise in futility
(much like hunting fresh chondrites on an island of basalt), but I did manage
to catch one beautiful wave here.
It is an impact heat

Hi all,
I just uploaded an HD video of a really nicely sculpted 883 gram
Gibeon meteorite for sale - it's the perfect size for most
collections. It's worth a look even if you are not in the market!

this is truly Apollo material?

Hi Robert and List,
I saw that listing last night. I'm not 100% certain, but I think it
is illegal to sell such a specimen. And I think it might be illegal
just to own it. And even if it's legal, there's no way to tell if
it's real, based on the photos and description.
Best regards,
MikeG
Is there an actual Federal, State, or Local, statute that dictates that
it's illegal to own a lunar sample?

If the sample is real, it is an extraordinarily large one (comparatively
speaking).
As such, it's surprising that someone would be dumb enough to try to sell it
on eBay. --Rob

Wow, Big K, nice wave! Truely a pretty awesome specimen!

knew the story was, well, distorted so to speakturns out the Gibeon was!

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.

Hi Walt and List,
Thanks for reminding me about the camera cartridge dust. I had
forgotten about that. AFAIK, that is the only legal Apollo lunar
material on the market. I've love to own one of those little pieces
of tape with dust on it, but the asking price is too rich for my
blood. I'll

Hi List,
No offense to geologists, but many geologists are not experienced with
meteorites. Some are, some are not. I have a friend who is a
geologist who worked at the Yucca Mountain complex. His knowledge is
very extensive, yet I know more about meteorites than he does. We

Hello, All,
All things considered, this auctioneer is either auctioning stolen property or
is blatantly committing fraud, since respectively he could not have come into
possession of Apollo material legitimately or is simply a liar.
And, anyone buying the material is a fool.

Hi Melanie,
I think part of the reason is economics and the demographic of
meteorite collectors. Meteorite collectors are a passionate but
relatively-small group. I tried advertising on Google over a year

minor increase in
Melanie, You're talking about Google Adwords. It's the advertising

Ditto! Adwords, FaceBook ads and LinkedIn ads all add up and I was running
out of money. So no more advertising until the economy picks up again.
Though it is disingenuous to lump Google in with the rest since I actually
got traffic from Google.

Hi all!
I studied geology (back when plate-tectonics was still an interesting
theory ) and there was absolutely zero mention of meteorites or even lunar
materials. But now that I've gotten meteorites in the blood I find that my
old professors and colleagues find these very interesting . I
As much as I know it is illegal to even present an item such as this rock on
Ebay as an authentic Apollo recovered moon rock. Even if it is not, just to
state that it is is enough to have it confiscated by the U.S. Government.
