On this list I've seen the words "lunaite" and "lunarite".  I've always
assumed the former refers to a piece of the Moon found on earth (lunar
meteorite), and the latter refers to a piece of an asteroid found on
the Moon (e.g. Hadley Rille).  I guess it's a little confusing given
that the two words only differ by one letter.
