Can anyone help with this question about the moon?

Question

Who would I contact about obtaining rocks from the moon? It would help my son's class project greatly. Thank you.

Answer 1

You cannot get any. NASA owns all the moon rocks that have been brought back to the earth. They only donate them to schools, and museums. Private individuals do not and may not own real moon rocks.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, you cannot obtain Moon Rocks, per NASA:

": CAN I OBTAIN SPACE ITEMS FROM NASA?

A: No. Hardware and other items NASA no longer needs are usually
offered first to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space
Museum. Other museums may also receive items, and those
belonging to the Smithsonian are sometimes loaned to other
public institutions or museums, so that people all over the
world can see them. Moon rocks, Moon dust, samples of space food, telescopes, binoculars, laser generators, old space
suits, broken or discarded Space Shuttle thermal protection
tiles, and other space artifacts are not available to the
public. Blueprints, flight plans, designs, transcripts and
other printed materials are prepared in limited quantities for
distribution only to the working personnel who need them.
Anyone who writes to a NASA Center, though, can receive
interesting and helpful educational materials."

However, you *MAY* be able to obtain one for LOAN/educational purposes loan by contacting your local museum or planetarium. I'd make that my first stop, or perhaps check with a local university's aerospace department.
