The half goes to charity claim is questionable. Other than that I don't see anything wrong with the sale of dirt. The seller doesn't claim the material is meteoric. Maybe there are some nice spheroids in it :P

Souvenir dirt and sand from historic places is sold worldwide. I think I have some dirt from the Alamo and a sample of Jerusalem sand around somewhere...
