Quote: When a fragment of moon rock was displayed in a big glass bubble in the foyer of the US embassy in Ballsbridge in 1970, it was, as Dr Johnson said of the Giant’s Causeway, worth seeing but not worth going to see: a greyish stone the size and shape of a desiccated walnut.

Quote: When a "priceless sample" of Moon rock was put on display in the American Embassy in Ballsbridge, it was mobbed by crowds, with 4,000 people turning up at the start of the display. The rock, no bigger than a walnut, was described as the "most valuable geological specimen ever seen in Ireland".
