Whats the story on dust?

The dust you are viewing is the byproduct of slicing scientifically certified Martian meteorites. We sanitize the collection basin under the saw and provide the residual dust to be used for a number of different applications - from art projects, jewelry, and simply for displaying. These make very unique gift ideas! 

How do we know the dust is really from Mars?

Just like our moon, Planet Mars also encounters Meteoroid impacts quite often. With enough velocity, chunks of Mars can eject and escape its own gravity, sending them on a journey through interplanetary space. If the sun or Earth’s atmosphere doesn’t burn them up and they survive their violent descent to Earth, they have the chance of being discovered, studied and classified by leading scientists in the field of Meteoritics! Using microscopic (thin sections), chemical, and isotopic analysis, scientists compare the stone’s composition to known planetary materials.

But the most definitive evidence comes from gas trapped inside the rock! 
Martian meteorites contain tiny bubbles of gas sealed within glassy inclusions. When analyzed using mass spectrometry, the gas composition matches the Martian atmosphere exactly as measured directly by NASA’s Viking landers in the 1970s and confirmed by later missions like Curiosity. The match is so specific that there's no other natural source on Earth (or elsewhere) with the same gas profile.
