Earth and space come together in this elaborate wire-wrapped pendant. Handcrafted with a natural, black tektite (meteorite impactite) swathed in finely woven Sterling silver wire and faceted, gem-quality, faceted peridot beads. The wire was oxidized then hand-polished to a glossy luster. The entire pendant measures 38x28x18mm (1.5" x 1.1" x 0.7") and comes suspended on your choice of Sterling silver chain.

Tektites are natural glass rocks up to a few centimeters in size, which most scientists argue were formed by the impact of large meteorites on Earth's surface. According to the terrestrial-impact theory, a meteorite impact melts material from the Earth's surface and ejects it up to several hundred kilometers away from the impact site, through space (which accounts for their drastically low water content, which averages just 0.005%). The molten material cools and solidifies to glass before falling back down to Earth.

This piece comes in a luxurious, black velvet jeweler's box, contained in a cardboard outer shell (so you can wrap the box without damaging the velvet); perfect for gift-giving. This is an heirloom-quality piece you can treasure for many years to come and it ships fully-insured and with international tracking, for your convenience and peace of mind. Makes a great gift for the space enthusiast in your life!
