Description
This meteorite ring incorporates authentic meteorite shavings in a Tungsten-Carbide band, creating a beautiful yet subtle look. The meteorite parts used in this ring are from the Muonionalusta meteorite, adding to the sentimental value & equipping you with cosmic history that you can wear daily. Tungsten is a heavy, highly scratch-resistant, extremely durable, & hypoallergenic material that is perfect for a luxury ring. About the Muonionalusta meteorite: The first fragment of the Muonionalusta meteorite was found in 1906 near the village of Kitkiöjärvi. Around forty pieces are known today, some being quite large. Other fragments have been found in a 25-by-15-kilometer (15.5 mi × 9.3 mi) area in the Pajala district of Norrbotten County, approximately 140 kilometers (87 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. Studies have shown it to be the oldest discovered meteorite impacting the Earth during the Quaternary Period, about one million years ago. It is quite clearly part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid, which shattered into many pieces upon its fall on our planet. Since landing on Earth the meteorite has experienced four ice ages. It was unearthed from a glacial moraine in the northern tundra. It has a strongly weathered surface covered with cemented faceted pebbles. Reference: "Muonionalusta."
