Classifying Common Metamorphic Rocks
... Field classification represents a broad frame work into which the majority of rocks can be placed. It is based primarily on the texture of the rock and upon its mineral composition. These are the two main characteristics of a rock that one should look for in a specimen. Metamorphic rocks are “change ...

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.
