Pallasite Meteorite Ring, Sericho, Africa, Sterling Silver
Sericho meteorites, originally from Africa, stand out as remarkable specimens in the meteorite world, especially for their classification as pallasites. Discovered in the deserts of Sudan, these meteorites boast a unique composition, characterized by a surprising right-position of olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. Their origins date back to the tumultuous realm between the mantle and the core of a differentiated asteroid or protoplanet, offering valuable insights into the early stages of planetary formation. The presence of olivine crystals within Sericho meteorites offers scientists a glimpse into the geological processes that once shaped these celestial bodies, shedding light on the dynamic forces at play during the infancy of the solar system. By studying these pallasitic wonders, researchers are unravelling the intricate history of planetary differentiation and the cataclysmic events that sculpted the celestial landscape, enriching our understanding of the deep mysteries of the universe. This exceptional ring is constructed using sterling silver with a slice of olivine-rich minerals from the iron-nickel meteorite.
The ring has an open shank so it is one size fits all and adjustable.
Sold in an elegant case.
