Black Zirconium Meteorite with Twin
Gold
This ring crafted from black zirconium has a centered wide inlay of
meteorite centered between two inlays of 18 karat gold.
Others metals are possible as well. The meteorite used
is the Gibeon Meteorite, and is estimated to be over 4 billion
years old! The meteorite traveled millions of miles
through space before landing in South Africa sometime in
prehistory. 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. The ring shown is 8mm wide and the black
zirconium
is the polished finish.
