Algeria
Found: 2019

Yes, you can wear a piece from Planet Mars. This distinguished pendant features a genuine slice of Martian Meteorite NWA 13366, hand-cut and set within finely crafted 14K Yellow Gold. Designed with a beveled edge and secure pronged setting on the reverse, the piece is finished with a classic triangular bail and ring attachment, offering a balance of elegance and durability. The meteorite's polished and reflective surface presents as a finely interlocked, granular-textured matrix of dark gray and bronze tones, characteristic of shergottite, a type of Martian igneous rock crystallized from volcanic activity on the Red Planet. Officially classified in 2021, NWA 13366 is recognized as a Martian meteorite ejected during an ancient impact event and later discovered in the deserts of Northwest Africa. As a wearable artifact from Mars, this pendant, in unworn condition, offers a unique blend of scientific rarity and timeless design-perfect for collectors of planetary material, jewelry connoisseurs, and those drawn to the wonders of the solar system.
Measurements: 1.23 x 1.09 x 0.13 inches (3.12 x 2.77 x 0.32 cm), weighs 5.2 grams in total

Note: The pendant is not accompanied by a necklace chain.
