The bolsters are made from Gibeon nickel-iron
meteorite which is acid etched to reveal the beautiful widmanstatten pattern
seen only in meteorites. Widmanstatten patterns develop during the slow
cooling of the iron core of a planetoid (asteroid). The handles
are diamond cut from Renfrow stony meteorite. This meteorite exhibits
a black stone matrix flecked with bright nickel inclusions, reminiscent
of a starry sky. The spine and thumb-bob are inlayed with Albin stony-iron
meteorite. This rare and fragile meteorite forms as molten nickel-iron
flows around emerald green olivine crystals.
