Product Description

Moon Rocks Earth Rocks with Lunar Mineralogy Book

The Moon rocks collected from the lunar surface during the Apollo missions are priceless, and are NOT available to the public for actual hands-on study. The Moon Rock / Earth Rock Collection was created by bringing together a set of Earth rocks that match the Moon rocks closely in mineral content and structure. These specimens are representative of the samples brought to Earth by the Apollo astronauts. Some of the samples are rare, and four glass vials contain carefully created analogs for lunar dust, lunar soils, and lunar volcanic glass. This set is HIGHLY recommended for collectors, and for use in museum displays and educational outreach programs.

This review is from: Moon Rocks Earth Rocks with Book

In a world of false advertising here instead we find an honest disclaimer regarding these rocks. Frankly 'earth rocks'. So why buy a collection of earth rocks for this price. First of all this collection brings the reality of moon rocks into a youngsters hands. Expanding their consciousness toward the moon. Feel the weight. Appreciate the texture of what moon rocks feel like.

Oh sure you can pick up a moonlike rock at some rockshops for $20. But here you have a whole spectrum put together to bring a more comprehensive appreciation about moon geology. A nice case and a wonderful informative book.
