This iron meteorite fell to Earth over one million years ago, originating from the core of a celestial body, and was discovered in northern Sweden near the Arctic Circle. Each oval cabochon measures \u003cstrong\u003e16mm x 12mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and displays the iconic \u003cstrong\u003eWidmanstätten Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e — a breathtaking natural crystalline structure that formed over billions of years as the meteorite slowly cooled in space. No two specimens are identical, making every cabochon a genuinely one-of-a-kind material for jewelry designers and metalsmiths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese calibrated cabochons are etched to reveal their extraordinary internal structure and nickel-plated to protect against rust.
