Lycopodium Powder, Dragon'S Breath, Club Moss Spores

Lycopodium Powder

Lycopodium Powder, also known as club moss spore powder, Dragon's Breath powder, vegetable sulfur, or Natural Flash Powder, is a pale yellow, extremely lightweight natural spore powder traditionally used for demonstrations, special effects, educational applications, and other general-purpose uses. Commercial lycopodium powder may be sourced from spores of club mosses and related lycophyte species. Because botanical source, species, morphology, density, and particle characteristics may vary by supplier and production lot, this product is sold as general-purpose Lycopodium Powder and is not represented as a botanically certified reference material for species-specific identification. The powder has a very low apparent density and disperses easily in air. When finely dispersed and exposed to an ignition source, airborne powder can burn rapidly and produce a visible flash or flame effect. This property has historically made lycopodium powder useful in theatrical demonstrations and controlled special-effects applications.

This product is a natural, lightweight spore powder with a pale yellow appearance, very low apparent density, and easy dispersibility. It is traditionally used for controlled flame demonstrations and special effects and is suitable for general technical, educational, and demonstration applications. Botanical source and spore morphology may vary between lots.

Botanical Source Notice: This product is supplied as commercial Lycopodium Powder. The term "lycopodium powder" is used commercially for natural spore powders derived from club mosses and related lycophyte botanical sources. Unless specifically stated in lot documentation, no individual species, subspecies, cultivar, or botanical origin is guaranteed. Natural variations may occur in spore size, surface morphology, exine ornamentation, apparent density, color, botanical source, and microscopic appearance. This material is not sold as a certified palynological, taxonomic, botanical, forensic, or analytical reference standard. Customers requiring a specific species or verified microscopic morphology should request confirmation before ordering.

Caution:

Lycopodium Powder is combustible when dispersed in air. Fine airborne particles may ignite rapidly in the presence of flame, sparks, or other ignition sources. Use only with appropriate ventilation, protective equipment, and controlled procedures. Keep the container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry area away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. Keep out of reach of children.
