We are all made of Stardust 

Our Sun is a second- or third-generation star. All of the rocky and metallic material we stand on, the iron in our blood, the calcium in our teeth, the carbon in our genes were produced billions of years ago in the interior of a red giant star. We are made of star-stuff.. ~The Cosmic Connection by Carl Sagan

 

I like Stardust more than Star-stuff. Stardust you can wipe off the bookshelf while Star-stuff sounds like something you scrape off your shoe. My preference, that’s all.
