What exactly is Meteorite?
Meteorite material is an iron based metal that has become increasingly popular in jewelry. But there are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to meteorites. People often use meteorites, meteoroids, and meteors interchangeably, however, all three are different. Let's break it down!
Meteorites are meteoroids that survive the fall through Earth’s atmosphere. Meteoroids are objects that journey through space that range in size. Meteors are meteoroids that successfully enter Earth’s atmosphere at a high speed. They often burn up into fireballs or shooting stars. A chunk of meteorite comes from the remnants of meteors that successfully land and survive the journey through space.
Brief History of Muonionalusta Meteorite
But what specifically are Muonionalusta meteorites? Isn't a rock from space still just a meteorite? Well, the type of meteorite depends on so many factors like location, composition, and date of impact.
For our specific meteorite, the history is clear. People first discovered Muonionalusta meteorites near a town along the Muonio River. It’s one of the oldest meteorites discovered after its impact over a million years ago.
Like other common meteorites, they contain rare elements and a variety of minerals that make it unique and beautiful. They have a darker appearance compared to any other type of meteorite as well. When you cut into it, you see its unique Widmanstätten pattern along its sides. It's like a crisscross within the metal when we finally cut it out of a slab. This pattern cannot be reproduced, which is why imitation meteorite is easy to distinguish from real meteorite.
Muonionalusta Meteorite Benefits and Healing Properties
The growing popularity of real meteorite jewelry also stems from its healing properties. In the past, people believed that meteorites assisted with spiritual development as well. A boost to positive energy and enhanced psychic abilities were also claimed. Generations of people saw meteorites as precious items boosting mental and spiritual growth. They were historically seen as sacred gifts from the heavens by countless cultures.
You’re probably skeptical about the above claims. We can’t back up claims that it gives emotional balance and healing of the mind without studies or evidence. But there are actual Muonionalusta meteorite benefits that we can stand behind.
We’ve worked with the material on a regular basis for years. We love the fact that it’s durable, scratch resistant, and unique. They’re difficult to damage and easy to maintain with its added and clear protective layer. You still have to avoid harsh chemicals and water to avoid rust because of a meteorite's iron content.
Proper care of meteorite includes gently rubbing grime to avoid damaging the protective layer. Some jewelers suggest using regular toothpaste to scrub grime or rust from your meteorite wedding band. But the best protectant is avoiding situations where your ring can get messy in the first place.
We still stand by these rings despite the few cons of meteorite rings. We have an exclusive collection of meteorite rings in a variety of styles and designs. The risk of rusting is usually outweighed by the benefits of Muonionalusta meteorite.
Are Meteorites Radioactive?
The Earth's atmosphere protects us from the vast majority of ultraviolet and galactic cosmic ray exposure. You’re probably thinking that meteors will inevitably become radioactive because of this. There isn’t an atmosphere to protect traveling meteors, right? Fortunately, this isn't the case. Meteorites have as many trace amounts of radioactivity as any other terrestrial rock on Earth. You probably have a rock in your backyard that's as radioactive as a meteorite.
How Much Is a Meteorite Worth?
A meteorite’s worth heavily depends on certain factors. The location it's found in may need extra duties and fees. Aside from that, any piece of meteorite will primarily vary in cost depending on its weight. The average price can range from $0.50 per gram to $1,000 per gram. The condition, quality, and size of the meteorite is important. A smaller or damaged rock can make that process even more difficult. Jewelers have to work with the best material possible to avoid any cracks.
We source all our meteorites from reputable vendors who send us authentic meteorite. You can test its authenticity by the magnetism and its distinct pattern on every slab. You can't pass off fake meteorite because jewelers can't reproduce this extraterrestrial metal on Earth. We can't imitate the characteristic patterns, natural properties, and crystallization process of meteorites.
