A piece of Martian meteorite jewelry lets you wear a fragment of Mars every day. Our designs use Amgala 001, a Martian meteorite that searchers recovered in late 2022 in the Western Sahara. The Meteoritical Society then registered it under this name.
Amgala 001 is a shergottite. This family accounts for about three quarters of all known Martian meteorites. In other words, it is a volcanic rock that formed on Mars. First, an impact threw it into space, and then it ended up falling to Earth.
But how do we know that a stone comes from Mars? Some Martian meteorites contain gas bubbles. Their composition matches the Martian atmosphere, which the Viking probes measured in 1976. Only a few hundred Martian meteorites appear in the world inventories. As a result, it is one of the rarest materials you can wear.
First, the fragment sits in a small round screw-top steel locket. You wear it at the end of a stainless steel chain. Fragments also decorate the dial of a wooden watch. In both cases, each piece remains unique: the shape and reflections of the fragment vary from one item to the next.
The watch also has its place among our Mars meteorite watches.

Yes. In France, anyone can freely buy and sell meteorites found in deserts, such as Amgala 001 in the Sahara. However, samples from space missions and meteorites collected in Antarctica stay out of trade.
A Martian meteorite bears an official name and a verifiable classification. By contrast, a red stone sold for a few euros under that name has, as a rule, never left Earth.
No, because it is a hard volcanic rock. Moreover, the closed locket or the watch glass protects it from knocks and moisture.
