Aloha to George Switzer, Moon Rock Scientist and courier of the Hope Diamond!

Moon Rocks Are Priceless

George Switzer, 92, was a scientist at the Smithsonian Institute. He studied Moon rocks and was instrumental in obtaining the Hope Diamond for the Institute. When it came time to transport the diamond to Washington, Mr. Switzer just carried it himself. He thought it would be the safest way; and it worked.

There are three sources of Moon rocks: the U.S. and Soviet era missions and volcanic rocks which fell to Earth. The mission rocks are believed to be priceless, though NASA valued a stolen sample in a court case for $1,000,000. Natural Moon rocks are very expensive and are traded freely among collectors. You can touch a piece of the moon at the Kennedy Space Center.
