Pallasite meteorite ring, Africa - Height: 28.5 mm - Width: 22 mm - 12 g

Anello meteorite pallasite, Sericho, Africa, argento sterling I meteoriti Sericho, originari dell'Africa, si distinguono come esemplari notevoli nel mondo dei meteoriti, soprattutto per la loro classificazione come pallasiti. Scoperti nei deserti del Sudan, questi meteoriti vantano una composizione unica, caratterizzata da una sorprendente giusta posizione di cristalli di olivina incastonati in una matrice di ferro-nichel. Le loro origini risalgono al tumultuoso regno tra il mantello e il nucleo di un asteroide o proto pianeta differenziato, offrendo preziose informazioni sulle prime fasi della formazione planetaria. La presenza di cristalli di olivina all’interno dei meteoriti di Sericho offre agli scienziati uno sguardo sui processi geologici che un tempo modellavano questi corpi celesti, facendo luce sulle forze dinamiche in gioco durante l’infanzia del sistema solare. Attraverso lo studio di queste meraviglie pallasitiche, i ricercatori svelano l’intricata storia della differenziazione planetaria e degli eventi catastrofici che hanno scolpito il paesaggio celeste, arricchendo la nostra comprensione dei profondi misteri dell’universo. Questo anello eccezionale è costruito utilizzando argento sterling con una fetta di minerali ricchi di olivina con il meteorite ferro-nichel. L'anello ha il gambo aperto quindi taglia unica, è regolabile. Venduto in elegante astuccio.

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.
