2mm Meteorite Ring with Accent Grooves

Description

The ring shown is a titanium ring with a 2mm 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 4.6 billion years old, slightly older than the Earth itself!  The government of Namibia has stopped export of the meteorite, so it will become rarer as the years go by.  It’s a great mix of ancient and contemporary.  This is truly a work of art and history available for your finger.  Can be done in Regular domed Profile or Flat and has the signature V shaped grooves between the meteorite inlay and titanium.
