Moon rocks sell for $855,000 in New York: Sotheby's

The rocks, collected by an unmanned Soviet Luna-16 Mission in 1970, went for nearly double the $442,500 last paid for them by the present-day US sellers in a Sotheby's Russian space history sale in 1993. They were originally the property of Nina Ivanovna Koroleva, widow of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev — the former director of the Soviet space program — who was given them by the Soviet Union in honor of her husband's work.
