Description
The Muonionalusta Meteorite is a rare iron meteorite that fell to Earth over one million years ago, originating from the core of a celestial body. Discovered in northern Sweden near the Arctic Circle, it is prized for its stunning Widmanstätten Pattern — a natural crystalline structure formed over billions of years as the meteorite cooled in space. This oval cabochon measures 12mm x 10mm and offers jewelry designers a genuinely extraordinary material: a calibrated slice of cosmic history ready for setting.
Each cabochon is unique by nature, displaying its own distinct patterning. Etched and nickel plated for rust prevention, these stones are ideal for designers looking to incorporate a touch of the universe into their creations.
