Dana's 40th Birthday

The Solar System burst into existence roughly 4,568,200,000 years ago. At first, it was a massive disk of dust, ice, and heat which orbited a newly formed sun. Over billions of years, the particles in this disk slowly collided and combined, eventually creating planets and asteroids. Enclosed in this specimen are the earliest known fragments of that event, which fell to Earth inside the Allende meteorite.

On February 8, 1969, this 2.2-ton meteorite exploded over Pueblito de Allende in northern Mexico, scattering debris over an area of 30 miles. The Allende meteorite is the largest known carbonaceous chondrite, filled with ancient mineral inclusions that formed at the birth of the Solar System. In 2020, scientists also found the presence of extraterrestrial proteins, the first discovery of its kind.

This bracelet, custom-made at Mini Museum, contains fine-grained dust extracted from the Allende meteorite. The material has also been prepared with glimmering mica to represent the incredible cosmic show of heat and light that created our Solar System.

This exclusive item is crafted here at the Mini Museum workshop with a double-sided, crystal-clear glass top, sterling silver backing, and an 8.5" chain that can be closed to fit your wrist with a sliding silicon bead. It's an incredible piece of astronomic jewelry made with rare and ancient meteoritic material!

As with all Mini Museum jewelry, the Nebula Fire bracelet comes with a handsome display/storage box and a small information card that also serves as the certificate of authenticity. 

Please Note: This necklace is made right here at the Mini Museum workshop and crafted with many rare materials. Supply may be limited but if the necklace is currently out of stock more will arrive soon! Make sure to sign up for back-in-stock notifications!
