This is a titanium ring with a 2mm inlay of meteorite that fell to Earth in before recorded. The Gibeon meteorite was discovered near the city of Gibeon in Namibia, South Africa in 1838. It has a unique crystalline grain structure called Widmanstatten lines that were caused by the meteorite slowly cooling over millions of years as it hurtled through space. It is literally older than dirt; over 4 billion years old! The government of Namibia has stopped export of the meteorite, so it will become rarer as the years go by. The contrast of the ancient meteorite and space age titanium is stunning. Can be done in Regular domed Profile or Flat. Show more
