Where are all the Goodwill Rocks now ??
Where are all the Goodwill rocks now ??
How much is the Moon worth anyway ?
There have been some vast exaggerations however perhaps four times as much as diamonds is in the ball park.
We have some fresh samples of the moon for sale at a new site we are putting together

The Goodwill rocks generate interest and a couple have generated huge sums at auction, however others have been stolen and the victims of other fraud.
There is no doubt that Moon Rock is very special.
Moon rocks collected during the course of lunar exploration are currently considered priceless. In 1993, three small fragments from Luna 16, weighing 0.2 g, were sold for US$ 442,500. In 2002, a safe, containing minute samples of lunar and Martian material, was stolen from the Lunar Sample Building. The samples were recovered; in 2003, during the court case, NASA estimated the value of these samples at about $1 million for 285 g (10 oz) of material. Moon rocks in the form of lunar meteorites, although expensive, are widely sold and traded among private collectors.
Today's economy is very unsteady; the value of Lunar Meteorites only rises.....
At www.lunarmeteoritestore.com we have Lunar Meteorite NWA 4734
MOST LIKELY LAUNCH PAIRED FROM THE SAME CRATER ON THE MOON WITH MULTIPLE ANTARTICA LAP SPECIMENS!!!
AN EXTREMELY FRESH LUNAR METEORITE WITH FANTASTIC FUSION CRUST!!!
History: Two pieces were purchased from nomads in Erfoud, Morocco, in October 2006 and February 2007.
Physical characteristics: A. Habibi purchased two pieces with a total mass of 477 g in Rissani, Morocco; several other pieces of the same stone totaling 895 g are with Ait Elkaid in Rissani, Morocco. Dull black/brown fusion crust is nearly complete and inside slightly tarnished where absent. It is a gray, coarse-grained, pristine magmatic rock consisting of millimeter-sized phenocrysts of mainly pyroxene and plagioclase.
Most lunar meteorites are launched from the Moon by impacts making lunar craters of a few kilometers in diameter or less. No source crater of lunar meteorites has been positively identified, although there is speculation that the highly anomalous lunar meteorite Sayh al Uhaymir 169 derives from the Lalande impact crater on the Lunar nearside.
Cosmic ray exposure history established with noble gas measurements have shown that all lunar meteorites were ejected from the Moon in the past 20 million years. Most left the Moon in the past 100,000 years. After leaving the Moon, most lunar meteoroids go into orbit around Earth and eventually succumb to Earth's gravity. Some meteoroids ejected from the Moon get launched into orbits around the sun. These meteoroids remain in space longer but eventually intersect the Earth's orbit and land.
