Dracula Soil 🦇
This specimen is a vial of earth from Cetatea Poenari, the cliffside fortress of Vlad III Dracula, Prince of Wallachia. It was collected with permission at the foot of the castle. It nods to the old myth that a vampire must sleep on its home soil, a legend Bram Stoker explored in Dracula.
The soil sits in a small glass vial with a cork stopper, enclosed in a glass-topped riker display case (4 1/2" x 3 1/2"). A small information card is included and serves as the certificate of authenticity. The same soil is also available as a vial necklace.
Please note: the cork stopper isn't sealed, so handle it with care. This is a very old site, so you may find small bits of stone or clay mixed in with the soil. Due to customs regulations, this specimen can't be shipped to Australia or New Zealand.
