[meteorite-list] Moon Rocks illegal?

I beg to differ that they are not rare any more. A single person could easily carry all of the known lunar meteorites on their back at once. If you compared to this to diamond production, you would need bulldozers and dumptrucks to care a single day's yield.

Best Regards,

Adam

Greg,

Those articles are very old and outdated.
The Geotimes article is dated Sept. 2002
The Madsci one is from Dec. 2000.

Things heve changed, there are now over 50 known, different lunar
meteorites. Not so rare anymore.

It seems Lunar Rock is a "controlled substance" and is illegal to own...

Is this true? What does it mean for Lunar Meteorites?
Can anyone offer info about this?

Thanks, and hope everyone has a great weekend (whats left of it)
