Mars Regolith Simulant

This material is engineered to be chemically and physically identical to the surface dirt, called regolith, of planet Mars. NASA uses this material to test their rovers’ performance abilities on the planet and to determine how well crops can be grown on Mars.

It is made with terrestrial materials to match the compositional analysis performed by the Mars rovers. The high iron content is what gives Mars its reddish color.
