Meteorite Jewelry Necklace. This 15 inch long plus a 2.5 inch long sterling silver extension handmade meteorite necklace is made up of 14 half inch long rectangular shaped NWA 869 stony meteorite beads as well irregular shaped stony meteorite pieces aesthetically placed between the rectangular shaped beads. At 3.57 billion years old, these meteorite beads are older than any rocks or gemstones on Earth and have small pieces of chondrites in the medium brown matrix that authenticate them as being from a meteorite as no rocks on Earth today have chondrites in them as the chondrites that were present when the Earth formed have been lost to volcanic activity over the last 3.57 billion years. The beads are magnetic because even stony meteorites have up to 20% iron flakes in them. Most meteorites are too rare and valuable to make jewelry out of, but fortunately enough of North West Africa 869 was found in the Sahara desert to make such a rare an unique gift available. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
