In this photo released by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon, and a note from the then-U.S. ambassador is seen. The Dutch national museum says one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood. The museum acquired the rock after the death of a former prime minister, who received it in 1969 from the then-U.S. ambassador during a visit by the Apollo 11 astronauts
US Counterfeit > China Counterfeit

or it could be the former prime minister swapped it before his death lol

eddoe 08-31-2009 10:40 AM
I think the more likely scenario is that some thieves swapped it when it was in the museum.

The Americans prob got it off some Chinese nightmarket.
