Classifiying Sedimentary Rocks
... For a rock to be classified as igneous, it must have been melted at some time and then hardened to become solid again. When melted rock material cools and hardens, it may form crystals, depending on how fast it cools. How fast the rock material cools depends on where it cools. If melted rock cools d ...

Stolen and missing moon rocks
Of the 270 Apollo 11 Moon Rocks and Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rocks that were given to the nations of the world by the Nixon Administration, approximately 180 are currently unaccounted for. Many of the Moon rocks that are accounted for have been locked away in storage for decades. The location of the rocks has been tracked by researchers and hobbyists because of their rarity and the difficulty of obtaining more. Moon rocks have been subjects of theft and forgery as well.
