Meteorite beads are crafted from fragments of iron-nickel meteorites that have fallen to Earth from space. These beads display unique crystalline patterns, known as Widmanstätten pattern, formed by slow cooling in space. As a rare and unconventional material, meteorite offers a distinctive, industrial aesthetic for jewelry designers seeking to create statement pieces. Dakota Stones provides authentic meteorite beads, ensuring quality and traceability. Due to their metallic composition, meteorite beads are heavier than most gemstones and may require special care to prevent rust.
