$2,500 bid.

Could it be the same supposed Moon rock? Not the one in the photo, but one
small chip that is still be investigated as is the seller.

One thing is certain. It was not distributed on an old piece of carpeting.

p.s. Sorry, folks, on the Apollo Moon rock, I meant to also say that
perhaps he's selling it for someone else, which seems to be common these

I couldn't find any specific statutes or codicils specifically prohibiting
the ownership of Nasa moon rocks. I don't believe there is one. According to
Wikipedia such a law doesn't exist. The Honduran case was about a customs
violation. They might be able to get you on theft chages since the
Well there we have it.
This case showed that the material was obtained illegally and therefore seized
and forfeited by our US Government.
But, it does not apply to sales of Moon material that were obtained legally.
Statute 19 USC.
As is the case with some of the ones given by President Nixon.
This case Phil references seems to me could apply to illegally
imported meteorites and would allow the US Gov. to seize them legally?
Scary! If the No innocent owner clause does not apply to meteorites
you cannot claim ignorance?
Simple solution to that problem - when the government shows up to
on it...

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?

No offense to geologists, but many geologists are not experienced with
meteorites. Some are, some are not. I have a friend who is a
