Meteorite Stripes

The ring shown is a Flat Profile ring with 5 inlays of 2mm meteorite around the circumference.  A central groove completes the look.  The inlays are 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 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 ring shown is 8mm wide and has a Brushed finish.
