Real Moon Rocks Go Up For Auction in New York, Expected to Fetch Nearly $1

The article stated:

"Next month Sotheby's in New York will auction off some of the only moon
rocks that can be legally owned by private individuals."

This is not correct. Lunar meteorites, which are also pieces of the Moon are
legal to buy and sell freely. They are still pricey Depending on the quality
and type, they are about 800 dollars a gram to about
650 dollars a gram on sale. :-(

Yours,
