(13) 13 total reviews
This vial contains simulated moon dust. It was engineered to be chemically and mechanically identical to the surface of ancient volcanic plains on the Moon, called maria.
The particle size and composition was designed to match that of the samples returned from the lunar mare during the Apollo missions.

Fayth rated this 5 stars on Etsy
Exactly as described. Came in a glass vial with a cork stopper, not glued shut so you can mess with your simulated moon dust if you like. This is the only sample I got where the info card was small enough to pack inside its labeled box--the rest were up to me to match with their items. Which was pretty easy since I knew what I ordered, but something to keep in mind if you're sending a box of science to someone else.
Came exactly as described. I neat piece to have and share with my daughter.
friend loved receiving it as a gift!
great great great great great
Excellent product! Exactly as described and a beautiful gift.
