Meteoric moon rocks yes. They are cheap compared to the ones that were obtained by the Apollo missions.
The only source that I know that offers real Apollo moon dust (that is all that one can legally own) is Florian Noller at Spaceflori, a dealer of Apollo and space era artifacts. I recently obtained (won) an Apollo 11 Moon Dust presentation, for an amazingly low price as few believed it was real. The last one of these is listed at Spaceflori for $1,895.00, Only a few hundred were made. And they are steadily increasing in value. Just a few grains of moon dust from the Sea of Tranquility obtained when Armstrong dropped the camera magazine, virtually in the same spot where he took his first step on the moon. Tiny specks of dust, a few strands of beta fibers from his spacesuit glove... in a tiny triangular swatch of tape that Mr. Slezak removed from that magazine as he was delegated to develop the first images from the moon. What is such worth? Certainly more than a meteorite lunar chip. The history of it is what makes it valuable. What it cost our nation to obtain, and the supreme risks that the astronauts had to endure to go to the moon for the first time. That, no matter how much moon rock that we later gather, will not compare to the first step on the moon, and the Apollo missions that follow, and the rocks that they brought home. Historical significance will forever make those rocks and dust valuable, and a true national treasure.

At least...due to the efforts of a few enthusiasts on the globe, everyone can have now his piece of Moon Rock at a price of a paperback :-) Martin ____________________________________________________________ Click here for to find products that will help grow your small business. http://thirdpartyoffers.mybluelight.com/TGL2341/fc/BLSrjpdjQi9iDzDaeo9roLpGNO91LfkSQiznsWph5pa0p9zvpXielxSvhwU/ ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
