You don't think the moon is historic, i.e., famous or important in history, significant, notable,
consequential, newsworthy, unforgettable, remarkable; celebrated, renowned or legendary? 😠

I didn't say I wasn't historic ,but I've never heard the moon referred to as such but by the definitions you quote a suppose it is in a way.
I do know life on Earth couldn't have evolved as it has without the moons steadying influence on it's orbit.

Are you metallic?

Would I call you precious or semi-precious?

Are you(or have been previously) mined in the U.K

3. Are you bauxite? No.
4. Are you metallic? The chemists would say I am in part, a metal.but I do not look like a metal any more than silver nitrate looks like silver.
5. Would I call you precious or semi-precious? No
6. Are you (or have been previously) mined in the U.K. I find no record of such mining.

Is one of your elements uranium?

7. Is one of your elements uranium?I happen to know that a trace amount of uranium is commonly found in me, but it's not part of my chemical formula and I am not mined for it.

5. Would I call you precious or semi-precious? No. Edit: At least one site says specimens of my general class are sometimes treated as gemstones, but the vast tonnage that is mined annually is not even considered for this possibility.

8. Are you salt. I am not table salt and am more likely treated as a mineral by chemists.

Are you found in what is loosely called "mineral sands" as listed in Wikipedia?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_mineral_sands_ore_deposits No, I find no mention of me or the product of processing me. Also, my specific gravity is not so great as to make me stand out from the other bits of minerals I hang around with, enough to act like so called mineral sands, which are placer deposits, which type of deposit I am not, at present.
See another edit, this time to #7.

Are you a phosphate compound?
