Meteorite Pendant // Large
Product Description
An absolutely beautiful Meteorite Pendant is made from the Muonionalusta meteorite and finished with a sterling silver clasp.
Muonionalusta is a fine octahedrite meteorite that impacted in northern Scandinavia, west of the border between Sweden and Finland, about one million years BCE. The first Muonionalusta was found in 1906.
The Muonionalusta is probably the oldest known meteorite at roughly 4.5 billion years old. Mainly comprised form a combination of nickel and iron, it was part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid that shattered into many pieces upon its fall to our planet. On Earth, the meteorite has experienced four ice ages. This meteorite has a very distinct pattern of etching know as the Widmanstatten Pattern which makes it both a visually interesting specimen and an item of interest among many collectors.
