A pendant fashioned from a cut meteorite

This pendant comes from an Aletai-cut meteorite. The stone retains its rough appearance and reveals its metallic details thanks to a simple shaping process, designed to make it an easily wearable piece of jewelry. The meteorite is neither highly polished nor extensively modified: its natural identity remains visible at first glance.

Aletai: a renowned iron meteorite

Discovered in China in 1898, the Aletai meteorite belongs to the iron meteorite family, known for its iron-nickel composition and high density. This stone is particularly prized for :

• its natural metallic sheen,

• irregular relief,

• its extraterrestrial origin verified.

The shape achieved here is the result of moderate pruning, carried out to maintain a balance between portability and authenticity.

A carved meteorite with a singular presence

Each fragment has a unique structure linked to its geological past. The cut leaves many internal details visible, reminding us of the stone’s cosmic origin. Sometimes micro-reliefs or small fusion zones can be seen, evidence of the stone’s journey through space.

What some people call lithotherapy

In lithotherapy, Aletai meteorite is often associated with endurance and inner strength. Some enthusiasts believe it helps to maintain focus and concentration. These ideas are not based on scientific evidence, but they do underline the pendant’s symbolic aura.

A jewel to wear or contemplate

This cut meteorite pendant is for those who love the authentic more than the imitation. It can be worn as jewelry, displayed or simply observed as a fragment of space. Its shape remains sober, but the material tells a story far greater than its size.
