Some hand lotions can cause staining of your finger so we avoid wearing hand lotions with meteorite rings. Don't wear your jewelry in salt water, the hot tub or swimming pool. As with any fine jewelry, our rings should not be exposed to chlorine, bleach, chlorides, house hold cleansers or acids (nor should your hands). The Gibeon and Seymchan meteorites tend to be naturally rust-resistant, so while hand washing and showering are, in our experience, not a problem, we do not recommend exposing your meteorite jewelry to excessive moisture. Don't abuse your jewelry, or hit it against hard objects that could dent or scratch it. Don't wear your jewelry while doing yard work, construction work, automotive work, or similar activities or while handling abrasive or corrosive materials. That being said, if you would like your ring to stay looking nice you should care for your ring as you would any other fine jewelry. Our custom meteorite rings are quite durable. We are the first manufacturer of Seymchan meteorite rings in the World and have pioneered the use of the difficult to work Seymchan meteorite in the Jewelry Industry. Our Seymchan meteorite rings have beautiful, coarse octahedrite Widmanstatten patterns and no two rings will look the same. Being a Coarse Octahedrite, the kamacite and taenite bands are larger (coarser) that those in the Gibeon and where they abutt they can have a visible line between the different meteorite alloys. It is composed of approximately 90% iron, 9% nickel and small concentrations of various rare elements. It has been classified as a IIE coarse octahedrite with main group pallasitic regions. The Seymchan meteorite was first discovered in 1967, in a stream bed that fed the Hekandue river of the Magadan district, USSR. Our unique, Seamless Seymchan meteorite rings are made from jewelry grade billets of Seymchan meteorite. These are a natural part of the meteorite and are not "imperfections". The beautiful crystalline patterns characteristic of iron meteorites are more than just beautiful oddities-they tell us about their composition an how long it took for the planetary core from which the meteorite is derived to cool! Gibeon meteorites contain small dark troilite inclusions. It has been estimated that, in the vacuum of Space, it took about 1000 years for these molten pieces of planetary core to cool by just 1 degree Celsius! There isn't any material on Earth that exhibits the Widmanstatten pattern of meteorites, and each piece of meteorite has its own unique pattern. Widmanstatten patterns can only form over millions of years of cooling. So, if a Widmanstatten pattern is important to you, make sure that you can see them when selecting a source for your meteorite ring. We have extensive experience in the selection and proper preparation of meteorites. This can occur through improper selection or improper handling of the meteorite. Some of the meteorite rings on the market today appear to have grainy, indistinct or non-existent "Widmanstatten patterns". The beautiful crystalline patterns within Gibeon meteorites are known as "Widmanstatten patterns", and are unique to meteorites. The Gibeon meteorite was derived from the core of an extinct planet that was blown apart billions of years ago during the formation of our solar system by a catastrophic impact event. It is composed of various alloys of iron and nickel, as well as a number of extremely rare trace elements. The Gibeon meteorite traveled through space for over four billion years before it crashed to earth as a fire ball. The Gibeon is a fine octahedrite meteorite which streaked into our atmosphere as a brilliant fireball some 30,000 years ago. Each ring has a different pattern as seen in the unique lines of the meteorite.Our Gibeon rings are made from jewelry grade pieces of Gibeon Meteorite. No better way to establish your good taste!
