High-Fidelity Lunar Mare Simulant Watercolor Paint
Full Pan Size - 4 ml
Batch #001
This paint reproduces the precise mineral composition and particle distribution of the dark basaltic plains of the Moon, as cataloged in Apollo mission sample analyses.
Watercolor Binder: a historical solution of gum arabic, sugar syrup, glycerin, plus a small amount of a preservative commonly used in cosmetics to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold.
Zero Fillers: No chalk, beeswax, aluminum stearate, or synthetic extenders.
Extremely lightfast, <30 micron particle size with an average particle size of 6 microns.
Mineral Composition
Bronzite: 32.8%
Basalt: 32.0%
Anorthosite: 19.8%
Olivine: 11.1%
Ilmenite: 4.3%
Accuracy
90–95% particle size match (before mulling)
80-85% mineralogical fidelity
Evaluated using criteria based on NASA’s Figure of Merit (FoM) simulant grading algorithm.
