1mm Thin Meteorite Band Ring

Description

The ring shown is a titanium ring with a 1mm inlay of genuine Gibeon Meteorite that fell to Earth in prehistory.  The meteorite was discovered in Namibia in 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 estimated to be 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 thin inlay is just enough to set it apart, while remaining subtle.
