What is Meteorite?

Muonionalusta meteorite is a unique and rare form of iron meteorite that landed in northern Scandinavia around a million years ago. It is named after the Muonio River, which flows in that area. The meteorite is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old, making it one of the oldest materials found on Earth.

Muonionalusta meteorite is composed of iron, nickel, cobalt, and traces of other elements, which give it a characteristic crystalline structure known as the Widmanstätten pattern. This pattern is formed as a result of the slow cooling of the meteorite over millions of years in space.

Why you should get a Meteorite Ring

Durability

Despite being composed of iron, muonionalusta meteorite is surprisingly durable, making it a great choice for a ring that will stand the test of time. However, as with any ring, proper care should be taken to ensure its longevity.

Water-resistant

One common concern with metal rings is that they can rust when exposed to water or moisture. Fortunately, muonionalusta meteorite is quite resistant to rusting, making it a great choice for a ring that will be worn regularly. We still recommend avoiding contact with moisture however to preserve the longevity of the ring.

Hypoallergenic

While some metals can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, muonionalusta meteorite is generally hypoallergenic and safe for most people to wear.

Unique

As each piece of muonionalusta meteorite has a distinct crystalline structure, every ring made from this material is one of a kind. This makes muonionalusta meteorite rings an excellent choice for those who want a piece of jewelry that truly stands out.

Flexibility and Style

Other materials such as titanium, steels, wood and even precious metals can be combined to create a plethora of different styles for every ring enthusiast. Below are just a few examples of the different design styles for tungsten carbide that we offer.

Things to consider

Ring Sizing

When selecting a muonionalusta meteorite ring, it's important to get an accurate measurement of your finger size to ensure a comfortable fit. Resizing a ring made from meteorite can be more difficult than resizing a traditional metal ring, so taking the time to get an accurate measurement is crucial.

Inlay Depths

When incorporating muonionalusta meteorite into a ring design, it's important to consider the appropriate inlay depth to ensure the meteorite is secure and won't crack or become damaged over time.

Exposure to Alcohol or Moisture

While muonionalusta meteorite is quite resistant to rust, it's still a good idea to avoid exposing the ring to excessive moisture or water. This can help to maintain the appearance of the meteorite over time and ensure its longevity as a piece of jewelry.
