Meteorite Bead Necklace

BEAD6

Rare Cosmic Chondrite Beads

Each bead made from stone METEORITES called chondrites. The chondrites are composed of material formed in the early solar system, est. 4.56 billion years. The stones were discovered in Northwest African desert and purchased by Marvin Killgore in various marketplaces of Morocco in the year 2000. A chosen few solid stones were taken to India for bead-making.

The colors are deep shades of brown; like coffee beans light to dark roast.

Each bead in the necklace is handmade, unique in shape, size and color. Though, no bead is exactly alike they are a rondelle-shaped, meaning they are flattened spheres about half as tall as their width.  The length of each necklace is 18″ (~45 cm) including a small chain connected with a lobster clip. The number of beads varies by size and tapering but a 5mm size necklace contains an estimated 165 beads.

 They are offered with a gift box and certificate of authenticity.
