An out-of-this-world gift for the ones in your life who loves space. This dog tag necklace is styled with carbon fibre for a modern take. Over 100,000 years ago, a handful of these mysterious Muonionalusta meteorites impacted earth. Searches for the impact crater from the original shower have been in vain; the site where these specimens are found is in a remote area of northern Sweden, is it presumed they were carried there by glaciers. Our Meteorite and Carbon Fibre Curve Design Dog Tag Necklace comes in a elegant textured presentation box complete with information card and certificate of authenticity. The meteorites are not only extremely rare, they are almost always buried! To make finding the specimens just a little harder Swedish law dictates that a license must be obtained, and then those pieces buried in the perma-frost must be excavated by hand. We will provide a certificate of origin and authenticity with piece of meteorite jewellery. Iron Nickel meteorites, like the Muonionsalusta generally start as the very core of a planet. The amazing Widmanstätten patterns (unearthly metallic grids in shimmering shades of grey and silver seen when the meteorite is sliced) are formed only in space. A planet’s core is cooled to form this metal at 1 degree per million years and when the iron is removed, the striking nickel crystal formations can be seen. During ancient times, meteorite was considered far more valuable than gold.
