Cabochon ovale véritable en météorite de Muonionalusta, 14 mm x 10 mm

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, this extraordinary material is prized for its stunning Widmanstätten Pattern — a natural crystalline structure formed over billions of years as the meteorite slowly cooled in space. Each cabochon is a genuinely unique piece of the cosmos, making it an exceptional choice for designers and metalsmiths looking to incorporate otherworldly beauty into fine jewelry and one-of-a-kind creations.

This oval cabochon measures 14mm × 10mm and is calibrated for consistent setting in standard oval bezel settings. The surface has been etched to reveal the iconic crystalline patterning inherent to this meteorite type, then nickel plated to help protect against oxidation and moisture.

Notes

• Avoid prolonged contact with moisture; clean gently with a dry cloth.
• Because each cabochon is cut from natural meteorite material, pattern placement, tone, and surface character will vary from piece to piece — no two are identical.
• Handle with care; iron-nickel meteorite is not rated on the Mohs hardness scale and may be more brittle than conventional gemstones.
