In New York, state museum officials have no record of Apollo 11 rock in that state. In Delaware, the sample was stolen from its national museum on September 22, 1977. The police were contacted, but it was never found.

The territory of the US Virgin Islands, meanwhile, can not confirm that it received a stone of goodwill, although the University of the Virgin Islands later received Apollo 11 rocks for scientific research, said the Chief Curator Julio Encarnacion III.

In other states, although Gutheinz has recently hit the market. Baton Rouge's Advocate newspaper spotted Louisiana's Apollo 11 lunar rock in early August after a call from Gutheinz.

In Utah, the state history division had no record of the sample, but the Associated Press confirmed that it was stored at the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City.

The officials present will be able to exhibit it as part of the celebrations celebrating the anniversary of Apollo 11 next year, which Gutheinz hopes to see everywhere.

"The people of the world deserve this," he said. "They deserve to see something that our astronauts have accomplished and to be part of it."
