I still say it contains at least a few nanograms of asteroid dust.

Just as Solar UV radiation ionizes & levitates microscopic
sized lunar dust particles, the same thing happens over
the daylight surface of that NEO asteroid the Hayabusha spacecraft
visited....

The sample collector on that spacecraft should have
inadvertently gathered some of that levitated dust.
[in nanograms quantity I guess]
