Sure considering you can find them here on earth.

Looks like they go for around [$99 (looks like a deep discount from what they used to sell for)](http://www.meteorite-mall.com/index1.html) .

I’m wary of that site. Sure, they claim the rocks are from “the moon”, but they don’t specify _which_ moon. I’d hate to invest my money in a chunk of Luna, only to wind up with something from Ganymede instead. That would suck. I hate Ganymede.
