Chondrules, Lunar and Martian Soil Simulants
| Chondrules | |
| Chondrules are some of the first solid materials to condense in the
early solar nebula 4.5 billion years ago. These droplet-like, spherical objects
represent the primitive mineralogy that would later coalesce into the planets,
moons, and asteroids. These millimeter-sized chondrules have been carefully extracted from the groundmass of a stone meteorite and are suitable for research, education, or collections. They are superb samples for low-power microscopy examination Supplied in #10 capsules, Chondrules, $ 16.00 per capsule |

| Lunar Soil Simulant | |
| Developed at NASA, this
lunar soil simulant is very similar in color, texture, composition and particle
size to lunar mare soil. It is made from crushed volcanic material from
northern Arizona, USA. Supplied in #10 capsules, Lunar Soil Simulant, $ 12.00 per capsule |

| Martian Soil Simulant | |
| The soil of Mars is
composed of reddish-brown, windblown dust. This NASA-altered volcanic ash from
Hawaii closely matches the color and particle size of martian soil. If you were
on the surface of Mars, this is how it would look and feel. Supplied in #10 capsules, Martian Soil Simulant, $ 12.00 per capsule. |
