The Earth is still tectonically active and because Earth has weather. The tectonic activity refreshes the crust as some plates are forced under others, removing old rock from the surface, and things like the sea floor spreading and volcanic activity producing all new crust. Additionally, the weather on the Earth constantly works to erode existing crust and wash it into the oceans.
The moon is neither terctonically active nor is there weather. The moon is, in planetary science terms, dead. There is no process to remove old surface rocks and replace with new ones.
The Earth has lots of tectonic activity, by which I mean earthquakes and volcanoes, which the moon does not have. Rocks can survive longer on the moon.
The following Apollo mission each brought moon rocks back to earth, they were Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
Apollo 13 proved to the world that a damaged spacecraft can be brought back to earth, with the astronauts safe.
Yes Apollo 11 brought back moonstones and the the other things used for experiments.

The two things brought back to earth by Apollo 11 were moon stones and moon dust.

As it was the first mission ,that successfully landed a man on the moon and brought him back safely to earth.
The Lunar craft crashed on the moon, they did not bring it back to earth.

no probe has been able to actually bring back things to earth they are able to transmit data back to earth but not samples of rock and such, if your thinking of moon rocks then they were brought back in the Apollo missions in the 1960s
The Apollo 11 mission placed two men on the moon and brought them and their third crew member back to Earth safely. It was a major technological and political accomplishment.
It was the first time a damaged spacecraft of M.A.S.A as brought back to earth safe.
