    A most peculiar inquiry as it's a bit confusing: 

>     Any ideas as to what sort of prices Moon stones, fossil or not
>     would fetch on Earth? 

    Do you, in fact, mean stones from the moon? Or moonstones? I don't
    think there could be any fossils from the moon as there wasn't ever
    any life there, and I'm pretty certain "fossil" refers to something
    that was once alive. Or are you referring to fossils (like ammonite)
    that are found here on this planet? But then I've never heard of any
    fossilized moonstone on this, or any other, planet. I wouldn't be
    surprised if there was feldspar in some meteorites, but I'm pretty
    certain none of it is actually moonstone. Perhaps the first question
    should be (since your phrasing leaves it a wee bit ambiguous) are
    you from Earth and trying to appraise something from another planet
    or are you from another planet, looking to make a killing by bringing
    in fossilized stones from a moon we don't yet know about?
