Oval Genuine 10mm x 8mm Muonionalusta Meteorite Cabochon

The Muonionalusta Meteorite Cabochon is a rare and extraordinary gemstone material sourced from one of the oldest known meteorites on Earth. This iron meteorite fell to our planet over one million years ago, originating from the core of a celestial body. Discovered in northern Sweden near the Arctic Circle, the Muonionalusta is celebrated among designers and metalsmiths for its breathtaking Widmanstätten Pattern — a natural crystalline structure formed over billions of years as the meteorite slowly cooled in the vacuum of space. No two specimens are identical, making each cabochon a singular artifact of deep cosmic history.

This oval cabochon measures 10mm × 8mm and is calibrated for consistent setting compatibility. Each piece is etched to reveal its iconic geometric crystalline pattern and nickel-plated to protect against oxidation. Ideal for fine jewelry designers, custom jewelers, and metalsmiths seeking a genuinely rare and story-rich material for pendants, rings, earrings, and other statement pieces.
