Meteorite Jewelry Necklace With Large Silver Spacer Beads. This 19.5 inch long plus a 2 inch long sterling silver extension handmade meteorite necklace is made up of 45 8mm round NWA 869 stony meteorite beads as well as 8 interspersed large sterling silver Bali style spacer beads and a sterling silver lobster-claw clasp. At 3.57 billion years old, these meteorite beads are older than any rocks or gemstones on Earth and have small pieces of chondrites in the medium brown matrix that authenticate them as being from a meteorite as no rocks on Earth today have chondrites in them as the chondrites that were present when the Earth formed have been lost to volcanic activity over the last 3.57 billion years. These beads are very expensive to produce because more than 80% of the meteorite is lost in their production. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
