Largest Piece Of The Moon Ever Offered: The headliner of this stellar event is a four pound Moon rock — the largest piece of the Moon ever to be auctioned — that is expected to bring $340,000 .
“This Moon rock is worthy of the finest natural history museums in the world," said Pitt. “The 4th largest piece of the Moon that can be privately owned will sell for as little as $228/gram, which includes the buyer's commission— quite inexpensive! Only 135 pounds of the Moon is available to the public and this is a superlative example of some of what is perhaps the rarest naturally occurring substance on Earth.”

Some wealthy OWS fool will buy it, then throw the rock at the cops.
