For my one year anniversary/farewell for my research job my team all chipped in an bought me a pendant bottle with moon dust in it I’m gonna cry
here’s a picture because some people were asking. the moon dust isn’t from an Apollo mission or anything, but rather a lunar meteorite that struck the earth (Lunaite). My pendant in particular is about about a 10mg sample of the meteorite NWA 4881 (Standing for Northwest Africa). It was found in 2005 and weighs 606g. It was purchased privately by Stefan Ralew in 2007.

[not my picture, my actual necklace is still in shipping]


Here are some pictures of NWA 4881
