You have the opportunity to wear something genuinely from outer space, with our authentic Swedish Muonionalusta meteorite pendants. In brief: A perfect gift for: 11th (Iron) Annive rsaries, Astronomy Lovers, and Milestone Birthdays. And for weddings it certainly ticks the "something old" box! The Widmanstätten Pattern: Every pendant is unique; the natural crystalline structure of the iron-nickel core means no two cross-sections are identical. The story behind its discovery: Discovered by boys playing football in Sweden in 1906, the meteorite landed on Earth around 1 million years ago. The meteorite itself is estimated to be at least 4 billion years old. Authenticity guaranteed: Each pendant includes a physical Certificate of Authenticity detailing the find-site in Northern Sweden. The delicate nature of the Muonionalusta meteorite means it has a natural tendency to oxidise (rust) due to its high iron content. To prevent this, a specialised 3-micron white gold coating has been applied to the surface, creating a protective barrier that preserves the 'Space Grey' lustre.
