Seriesly!!
Every so often, Spaceweather sends me emails hawking all sorts of stuff, and one was a piece of the Moon!
NWA 4881 was found in NW Africa in 2005.
But that's not all....
I BOUGHT A MARS ROCK!!!!!!
NWA 4925 was found in the Sahara, NW Africa in 2007.
In the interest of full disclosure, no moose were harmed in this event!
If anybody else is interested, FReepmail me and I will send details about how to get your own.

Cool.
A friend of mine in Hawaii who has several patents on 3D microscope technology actually was loaned some moon rocks by NASA a year or so ago. He said 2 guys actually flew out to him in Hawaii to hand-deliver them.

You would think stones so rare would be GIA certified, or at least EGL.
