Meteorite Offset
This is a titanium ring with a
2mm
inlay of meteorite that fell to Earth in
before recorded. The Gibeon meteorite was discovered near
the city of Gibeon in Namibia,
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 literally older than dirt; over 4 billion years
old! The government of Namibia has stopped export of the
meteorite, so it will become more rare as the years go by.
The contrast of the ancient meteorite and space age titanium is
stunning.
Can be done in Regular domed Profile or Flat.
