Item specifics

Condition:
New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item (including handmade items). See the seller's listing ... Read moreabout the condition
  

You are bidding on a huge sample of Silica Aerogel as shown in the first 6 pictures (the others are stock pics from the web).  It is approximately 5.5x1.25x0.45” (140x32x11mm).  A piece this size is extremely rare without paying thousands of dollars.  The larger the piece, the more amazing it looks!  A plastic display case will be included.  Please ask about discounts for multiple quantity orders.

This is a great collectors' item, gift, a unique and rare science display, or just something to amaze your friends.  It’s simply amazing to hold in your hands!  Silica Aerogel was developed by NASA, and used to insulate the Mars Rover and collect comet dust in the Stardust Mission.  Some interesting facts about Silica Aerogel:

  • World's lightest solid consisting of up to 99.8% air...the rest is Silica
  • World's best insulator...those crayons are only protected by a 1/2 inch thick tile
  • Can support over 1000X its weight...yes, that's a 2gm piece under the 2.5kg brick
  • Melting point is over 2000°F
  • Nicknamed "Blue Smoke" due to its appearance...its hard to believe you are holding a solid (transparent if light is direct)

Bid with confidence and read my 100% positive feedback.  I prefer payment via Paypal. 

Good luck bidding!
