Our vision for "Projects of Earth" is to develop an affordable high quality commemorative enamel pin and handcrafted meteorite pen set featuring authentic moon dust, celebrating the upcoming 50th anniversary of mankind's greatest technological achievement: putting a man on the moon.

...if you opt for the upgraded pin, moon dust will be added to the grey area representing the lunar surface. We will handcraft a more realistic lunar surface texture on each upgraded pin using a pinch of moon dust blended with a drop of clear cyanoacrylate glue.

Our moon dust comes from the legendary Lunar Meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 5000. NWA 5000 was discovered in Southern Morocco in 2007 and with a near perfect 24.8 out of 25 rating it is, to date, the largest and finest lunar highlands specimen in existence. We've acquired our supply directly from NWA 5000's original owner and it is of course guaranteed 100% authentic. Lunar meteorite is considered to be one of the rarest materials in the entire world, far more rare than gold, platinum, or diamond.

This ultra-fine "moon dust" was produced as the main mass of the meteorite was sliced using a special sterilized diamond blade saw, preventing the introduction of any terrestrial contaminants. It is in fact so pure that this exact dust is used by Washington University in St. Louis as their laboratory calibration sample.
