Description: When we professionally slice scientifically classified, genuine Martian and Lunar meteorites, we don't waste the dust. We sanitize the collection basin and catch the dust in it. We sell it to collectors, jewelry makers, artists who mix it in their paint and sometimes even guitar Luthiers who build custom guitars for world-class musicians. You are purchasing 2 beautiful vials filled with genuine Lunar and Martian meteorite dust, encased in a membrane display case. The meteorite itself that this dust derived from has been scientifically studied and confirmed to be of Martian and Lunar origin by leading scientists in the field of Meteoritics. These are big hits for holidays and birthdays. Give the perfect, unique gift this year! How do we know it's really from Mars? Thanks to the Viking spacecraft that landed on Mars in 1967, scientists have revealed small amounts of gas/rare isotopes trapped within these types of meteorites and concluded it's the same composition to the atmosphere on Mars. ***How do we know it’s from the Moon? *** Our moon lacks an atmosphere. When asteroids encounter these celestial bodies (which happens frequently), fragments eject from the impact and occasionally make their way into Earth’s orbit. If the stone survives its cataclysmic entry into Earth, it lands on the ground and becomes known as a meteorite. Once studied under a microscope by leading scientists in the field of Meteoritics, the stone's origin is then plotted based on its compositional property to the different classes of asteroids and samples returned to Earth. Lunar meteorites specifically are compared to samples returned by NASA's Apollo mission astronauts. From there, meteorites make their way into museums, universities and to the general public all around the world. About Meteorite Dust: When we slice scientifically classified, genuine meteorites, we collect the dust and provide it to collectors, jewelry makers, guitar builders, artists who use it in their paint, and much more! The dust comes with a signed card that also contains information on the meteorite itself. Know someone who loves space? These make the most perfect, unique gift ideas! The Interstellar Collection, LLC unconditionally guarantees the authenticity and traceability of all meteorites and meteorite-related items we list for sale. We are proudly acknowledged by the IMCA (ID #3950), the GMA (ID #042) and The Meteorite Club.
