I Made An Iron Meteorite Ring With Sterling Silver Inside (Muonionalusta Meteorite)

I made an iron meteorite ring and I can't believe I'm wearing a shooting star! The inside of the ring is made with sterling silver. This is by far the coolest ring I've ever made so I hope you enjoy watching the process. This piece of Muonionalusta meteorite was sent to me by Alex from @RingcraftUK - check out his store here for the freshest ring making supplies in Europe: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RingCraftUK Want to learn the craft of making rings?

Fragments of the space rock were first discovered in Sweden in 1906 but it is believed to have struck Earth over 800,000 years ago. Meteorites are typically found in 3 varieties: Stony (the most common type); Iron (much rarer) and Stony-Iron (super rare). The Muonianalusta is an iron meteorite and is world renowned for the beautiful patterns contained within the metal. The pattern you see on the ring is not man made - it is formed over millions of years as the rock cools while hurtling through space. Crystaline structures form as the elements within the meteorite slowly cool creating the crazy patterns you see in the ring. These are known as the Widmanstätten pattern (named after Count Alois von Beckh Widmanstätten) who discovered them while flame heating iron meteorites. This is a super unique material with an unbelievable history - I still can't believe I'm wearing a shooting star!
