Meteorite
Our Meteorite is sourced from the Gibeon Meteorite which fell to Namibia in prehistoric times. Radiometric dating places the age of crystallization of the Iron-Nickel metal in the Gibeon at 4 billion years. When cut, Meteorite exhibits a distinctive crystal structure (Widmanstätten patterns) formed as it cooled on the earth’s surface.
