0.5x0.5x0.5" SILICA AEROGEL LIKE NASA TYPE. AMAZING!!! 

You are bidding on a large sample of Silica Aerogel as shown in the gallery picture (the 2 pics with the flame and brick are stock pictures from the web).  This is one of the actual pieces I am selling, but it may vary in size and shape.  I guarantee the piece you get to be a single piece approximately 0.5x0.5x0.45” (12x12x11mm) or LARGER in total area.  For example, the piece pictured is triangular in shape with the 3 sides measuring 0.6x0.6x0.9", or it could be a rectangular shape at 0.3x0.75x0.45".  They are all about 0.45" thick (11mm).  Please let me know if you want a specific shape, and I'll do my best (no sculptures please :).  The larger the piece the more amazing it looks, but this size is the best value.  Yes, the clear case is included.  I will sell the largest pieces I have first (in this size category).  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
