Greetings List,

It is hard to tell exact scale in the photo (in the article that Count
posted), but it looks like 4 Bessey specks suspended inside a marble
of clear acrylic (or lucite, or ?). I had always assumed that the
Apollo "moon rocks" the US government distributed to various countries
were much larger - perhaps acorn sized fragments, or a decent
part-slice or something. Apparently we were giving away crumb-sized
micros.

Or maybe, a given nation's relative value to the US as an ally may
have dictated by how much Apollo material they received. And poor
Nicaragua only merited a few specks. LOL.

Best regards,

MikeG
