Muonionalusta Iron Meteorite Pendant

$162.00

This reversible pendant features authentic Muonionalusta iron meteorite, discovered in northern Sweden within the Arctic Circle. Classified as a fine octahedrite (IVA), Muonionalusta reveals its signature Widmanstätten pattern, an intricate crystalline structure of nickel-iron alloys that forms only when molten metal cools extremely slowly inside the core of an ancient asteroid. These geometric patterns cannot be reproduced artificially, making each side of this piece a genuine and verifiable record of extraterrestrial origin.

Estimated to be over 4.5 billion years old, Muonionalusta is among the oldest known meteorites to impact Earth during the Quaternary period. Its remote Arctic strewn field makes recovery challenging, adding to its rarity and value. Designed to be worn on either side, this pendant showcases the natural cosmic structure from multiple angles, offering two distinct looks while preserving a remarkable fragment of early solar system history.
