Gibeon Meteorite Dog Tag

The dog tag necklace is made from the Iron Meteorite discovered in Gibeon, Namibia, Africa. The widmanstattan pattern seen on the surface is unique to this meteorite. The pattern is the crystalline structure of iron formed in a weightless environment over billions of years. It is classified as a fine octahedrite and the pattern seen on all sides. Some have small dark spots in the metal. These are called inclusion of minerals: like troilite, graphite and enstatite.  The tags are 2″ long and 1″ wide. They come with a 30″ adjustable, round, dog tag chain.
