It could possibly be a lunar meteorite. A lunar meteorite is a piece of the moon that got blasted off the surface due to a crater-producing impact of a "regular" meteor (or other body), one that was driven upwards with enough force that it reached lunar escape velocity and fell to Earth. These are actually relatively common, though not nearly that large. If you check eBay, small slivers are selling for as little as five bucks, though there's one that's 1.19 grams-- that's like 1/24th of an ounce-- that selling for almost $5,000.
It's extremely doubtful your friend has a lunar sample from one of the Apollo or Russian Luna missions. He may think he does, but it's not likely.

There is NO WAY that it is a legitimate moon rock. It would have to be black market because NASA does not allow any of its Moon rocks to be sold. There are rumors of stolen rocks being sold for millions of dollars, but if someone is trying to sell you a Moon rock for some price a regular person could afford, he is lying to you. It is a regular Earth rock and he is a con man. Do not buy it!

Intinsically, the value per pound of lunar regolith would be $160,332,541.56. The cost of the Apollo program that led to the collection of lunar material is approximately $135B. The total amount of lunar material brought back to earth by the Apollo astronauts is 842 lbs.
In terms of scientific value, moon rock would be considered by most to be valueless.

If you can't establish its provenance it's worthless.
