On the subject of moon rocks --

In the Shah's Iran there used to be a moon rock on display in the Shayyad
Monument (the beautiful structure you used to pass on the way into town,
renamed the Azadi Monument after the revolution). I've always wondered what
happened to it. I suppose Nixon presented moon rocks to other heads of state
where other revolutions / convulsions have occurred in the last 30 years as
well. Does anyone know if any of these found their way onto the market? Are
there genuine moon rocks being sold out there?
