Hmmm, according to
http://internt.nhm.ac.uk/cgi-bin/earth/metcat/metsPerGroup.dsml Lunar
meteorites are rarer than Martian meteorites, but not by that much ...

PS balance something American on it (a coin?) so you can then say "Uncle
Sam's on Mars" :-)

Subject: Space rock on my mantlepiece


I've just agreed a deal which will put a tiny (0.33gm) piece of Mars on
my mantlepiece.

All I need now is a nice transparent display case and maybe an LED rig
to light it from below. Jewelry display kit or something? Does anyone
have any ideas?

I'd absolutely no idea you could buy such stuff. I thought it'd all be
in labs.  I'm going to be very pleased for a while.

Weirdly, Moon rock is more expensive. I'd have thought that more of
that would hit Earth than pieces of Mars. One day though...
