Genuine Mars Dust Necklace

These pendants contain 100% genuine dust from Mars. The pendant casing is made with strong stainless steel surrounding a two-sided glass window. These unique pieces are designed to be worn and shown off! 

When asteroids encounter Mars (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 scientists, the stone's origin is then plotted based on its compositional property to the different classes of asteroids and samples returned to Earth. 

Thanks to NASA's Viking spacecraft that landed on Mars in 1976, scientists studying meteorites have identified small amounts of rare isotopes trapped within these specific types of meteorites, and concluded the composition found within is the identical to that of the atmosphere on planet Mars.

The chain length is 48cm (18.9”). The pendant diameter is approx. 1cm.
