Aerogel is an exotic substance that is produced using elements of nanotechnology.  It holds the world record as the least-dense material on Earth, and it weighs just three times that of an equal volume of air.  By volume, aerogel is 99.8% air.  The rest of the volume is composed of silicon dioxide.  Aerogel is an excellent insulator for heat and sound.  It is used by the space industry as an insulator because it absorbs all forms of energy transfer and has an very light ....]]> Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:18:41 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/kapoeta-limited-edition-poster-print-cross-polarized $49.00

When a massive iron meteorite slammed into the remote Arizona desert, it blasted out a mile-wide crater that is one of the world's most recognizable impact structures.  The impact was so violent, that it pulverized the native sandstone into a powdery-fine sand that is like flour.  This shocked sand was collected at the crater many years ago before the site was closed to collectors.  I only have a limited quantity of this material.  Don't miss your chance to own a unique impac....]]> Tue, 05 Apr 2011 13:41:46 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/sylacauga-rare-lock-of-ann-hodges-torso-hair-struck-by-a-meteorite $1,000,000.00
On November 30, 1954, a meteorite penetrated the roof of a home and struck Ms. Ann Hodges as she lay on the sofa.  The meteorite caused a wicked bruise on her torso and she required hospitalization.   This historical event is the best-documented case of a human being struck by a space rock.  The ensuing battle for ownership of the meteorite captured media attention and Ms. Hodges became an unwitting celebrity in the realm of meteorite falls. While in the hospital, the area a....]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:10:07 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/american-meteorite-museum-brick-harvey-nininger-historic-rt-66-relic $24.00

Now you can hunt for meteorites like a professional.  Introducing, the "Meteorite Stick". The Meteorite Stick is an aid for finding meteorites in the field.  With the help of this tool, you will be able to pick up meteorites that are hidden on the ground.  When searching for meteorites, it is often difficult to discern what is a meteorite and what is an Earth rock, since many normal rocks can mimic the appearance of a meteorite. The majority of meteorites have metal in them, and....]]> Tue, 11 Jan 2011 13:44:22 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/meteorite-map-saharan-desert-nwa-map-suitable-for-framing $9.99

New! - very nice N48 rare earth Neodymium magnets.  N48 is a very strong industrial grade and much stronger than some similar magnets sold on eBay and elsewhere.  There are only 2 stronger grades than N48 - N50 and N52.  N50 and N52 magnets are harder to find, more expensive, and somewhat dangerous in larger sizes.  These N48 magnets are a great compromise of strength and value. These are many times stronger than the best ceramic magnets and will attract the tiniest amounts o....]]> Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:13:12 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/riker-box-display-3x4-inches $4.99
