Carbonaceous Chondrite Meteorite Dust - Like Asteroid Bennu!

The dust you are viewing derived from a carbon-rich Asteroid!  It was collected after slicing a Carbonaceous Chondrite Meteorite, specifically named NWA 16314.  These types of Asteroids contain organic molecules and could have been responsible for the materialization of life on Earth!

Did You Know?
Bennu, a near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid, was a recent target of NASA's Osiris Rex mission whose objective was to collect samples and return them to Earth for study!

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!

About Stony Meteorites:

Stony meteorites are the most common meteorites, making up the majority of the meteorites discovered here on Earth.  They are divided into two groups: chondrites, which are some of the oldest primitive material in our entire solar system originating from large asteroids, and achondrites, which include meteorites that derived from our moon and Mars.

*Note - Lunar and Martian-originated meteorites will always be indicated as such on the listing. Any other meteorite listed will have originated from an asteroid.
