Meteorite Ticonium

This is a titanium or cobalt chrome ring with a black zirconium inlay, and a Meteorite inlay in that!  This allows for a great contrast next to the meteorite.  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 9mm wide in a size 10.25 and the titanium is polished.
