About the Item

Scandinavian Widmanstätten pattern meteorite slice and black Guatemalan jade inlay vessel, 18 carat recycled palladium white gold and recycled steel - One-of-a-kind Available by Special Order Philosophizing the dichotomy of tangible and transcendent, this vessel encases eons of cosmogenic history as chronicled in a rare specimen of Muonionalusta Meteorite within constraints of recycled steel. Predating the formation of the Earth, the specimen serves as an imprint of an intangible past, preserving 4.6 billion years in its crystalline structure. SCANDINAVIAN WIDMANSTATTEN METEORITE SLICE: Name: Scandinavian Widmanstätten meteorite slice Origin: Asteroid Belt Solar System Age: 4.6 billion to 6.3 billion years old Mohs Hardness: Varies from 2.0 - 10.0 Date of fall: circa one million years ago Date of find: 1906 Location of find: Kiruna Norrbotten, Sweden Upon examining a cross-section of some iron meteorites, a unique natural relief referred to as a Widmanstätten pattern is noticeable. Named after Alois von Widmanstätten, a Viennese scientist who discovered it in 1808, the Widmanstätten pattern is a three-dimensional octahedral structure in the metal that is formed from interleaving bands of kamacite and narrower borders of taenite. The intersections are filled with a mixture of these two alloys. Discovered in melting glacial ice, this Scandinavian meteorite slice is approximately 4.6 billion years old and impacted the Earth circa one million years ago. We typically gather our Widmanstätten meteorite slices in Finland and Sweden. Satin finish Dimensions: Approximately 25 mm x 57 mm x 11 mm Handcrafted in New York City Custom commissions are available incorporating unique, rare and sustainable materials.
